Rate-O-Matic! 4

Seems like a great idea, however it seems to be timing out a lot for me. Anyone else notice this, or is it just a problem on my end? 


UPDATE: No timing out issues when using to speed rate a list. So a five for speed rating lists, but a three for checking the "show me all" box.


UPDATE #2: This may or may not be an isolated incident, but on the last list I speed rated, it worked for a while, but then it said that I had rated the whole list, but in actuality I had rated less than half of the list. Any one else with a similar problem?

  UPDATE #3: Using Rate-O-Matic is a pretty good way of finding lists that you otherwise wouldn't find. An improvement that I'd like to see is a link to the list that the item came from. Several times while messing around with the Rate-O-Matic feature I've found myself just wanting to see the whole list that the item came from, and it would be nice to just click on it instead of having to go to my user page and click on my reviews to find the link.

UPDATE #4: I assume that Rate-O-Matic has been tossed to the curb. I wouldn't mind seeing a modified version of this reintroduced, as long as there would be a link to the actual list the items came from. Actually, what I'd like to see instead of the old Rate-O-Matic which showed you random items, is a feature that showed you random lists. When things get slow around here or the topics being covered in my feed aren't of interest to me, this could be useful.

Twansalem - were you speed rating a particular list, or did you choose categories from the menu? Sometimes when I choose "show me all" it has timed out on me.

Yeah, I was choosing "show me all." I'll check out speed rating a particular list, or maybe just checking one or two topics and see if it still happens.
