How do threads get "stars"?

I used to think it was because I posted in them.

But that wasn't it.

I think it has to do with the number of views. I notice those with views less than 200 don't have stars, while those over 200 do.

Also, if you look at the top of the thread, there's a button marked "Rate".

If you select this, it allows you to give the thread a "rating" of 1-5 stars depending on how much you like the thread.

Ah, Yes that is how, Thanks for clearing that up!

LOL Same here, I'm very sure it's about the number of views and how people rate it.

I never even noticed that ...

*runs back to rate every post he has ever made in here 5 stars*

LOL the sad part is you can't rate your own threads
