Greetings,

Thanks for writing this piece of software.

I was just browsing through the API documentation, and was wondering if CRE takes into consideration the value of the vote, or it only cares if someone voted or not. The reason for the question is that if I rate something as 0 on a scale from 0-10, it still gets recommended - "Those that like this also like..." - which is very much not true if I give something a 0. Any ideas? Reading the API doc, it sounds like something like this would grow to be gigantic in the database.

Thanks,
Andrey.

Yes it does take the vote value into account.

And that block's title is a bit misleading. Really it takes into account nodes that are rated similarly to this node. So, even if no1 liked the node, there could be other nodes that are rated just as bad as that one :-D

Hahaha, that's really good :-)

I could name it "Similar pages" or something along those lines then.

What about the user profile page? I rated something with a very low score, and I'm still recommending it as one of the things I found "interesting".

This may be another topic, but when I log in as admin, I can see my user (not admin) recommending the same article twice on the user profile page. Any ideas? Has this happened before? Would you like me to look deeper into it?

Thanks!
Andrey.
