I like the idea of rating threads, but I don't like that you have to click what you want to vote, then wait for the "Thanks for voting, please wait while we transfer you" page to finish (or click on the link, but that's annoying :p ).. It might not seem like much time to most of you, but it really makes me not want to vote on a thread when im done reading it.. maybe if it was an iframe, where when you clicked it, it would only refresh the ifram and not the whole page? then we could vote, and still read the thread at the same time..

i dunno, just a small little annoyance that really bothers me for some reason.. :blush:

I agree something is better than nothing but I don't like empty stars.  I think the grey background looks kinda cheesy.

That grey background is IE's inability to properly render transparent PNGs. I'll have to convert it to a GIF or PNG-8.

Excuse me as I have not read this entire thread but are these really needed? As I look around the forum, I see very few "rated" threads. I think it takes up good space on this great forum. Just my .02 cents.

Then I guess teh obvious next question here is: Are you rating the threads? It only takes 5 for the results to show up. I rate just about every thread I read, if you do too, then we only need 3 more members to get an official rating on the front...

That's another thing, I usually do not take the time to rate since I usually scan or search for most of my info. Even if they were all rated, it wouldn't really hinder whether I read a thread or not.

Why don't we just show the rating with just one vote ? there really isn't much statistical difference between the first and the fifth vote, furthmore, it'll probably encourage people to vote. We can assume that the author will probably give themself a rank of 5, if the next reader strongly disagrees with that rank, then the rank will average out in time.

    • Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced that Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot is now generally available to all users with a Microsoft 365 Copilot license. Planner Agent is the latest addition in the string of AI features that Microsoft is implementing across virtually all of its products. The agent lets you manage tasks through natural language prompts directly inside Microsoft 365 Copilot. You can create and update tasks, check priorities, and get insights about current entries without leaving the chat interface. The general availability release comes with a handful of new additions on top of what was available during the initial rollout. A new plan picker lets you search and filter your plans by name, then update task names, statuses, due dates, or priorities through the agent. There's also a goals bucket now, which lets you group tasks under specific goals. This builds on the Goals view, a feature that was introduced as part of the broader Planner refresh that rolled out earlier. Image: Microsoft | Planner Agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot All AI-generated plans and tasks are created in draft mode by default, so you can review and approve changes before anything goes through. This is actually a thoughtful safety feature, because trusting AI to handle all your tasks without a human in the loop is usually a recipe for disaster. Having tasks initially saved as drafts is the best possible middle ground. Microsoft also says that not all tasks are executed equally. Simple tasks get processed quickly, while more complex ones, like building a plan from a Word, Excel, or PowerPoint file, are handed to a more capable model. Microsoft says this approach delivers the best performance, but it could also help with usage management, as you won't have to waste tokens on performing simple tasks. Planner Agent is available now across Teams, Loop, SharePoint, and other Microsoft 365 apps for anyone on a Microsoft 365 Copilot subscription.
