The rating feature has been removed from articles.
It is not registering ratings.
Also I'd like to mention that anyone is welcome to post articles.
Click "submit an article."
The articles go into the news and notes section and the last 8 submitted will appear as links in the submitted articles block.
All articles are welcome. Articles of political nature will be premised with a statement that the opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the management of the site.
If you do submit an article, please make sure there are no spelling errors or typos as it will delay publication.
