I am unable to grade answers to Kudoz quesyion I posted a few days ago.
I have tried using the old Kudoz design, whereupon it asks me for a password, I give it, and nothing happens.
Any ideas anyone?

| What do you mean nothing happens? | Oct 2, 2005 |
When you select the answer, select the number of points to award, write a thank you note and click submit button, what happens? The page is not reloading?
In any case, I think you should file a Support Request quoting the link - the one you recive in an e-mail reminding you to grade question. Only system administrator can tell if there is something wrong.

No matter which design you use, the system will NOT ask you for a password if you asked the questions when logged-in and if you were grading them when logged-in.
Please check if you have asked the questions being logged in.
Please describe in details why are you unable to grade the questions in the new design? The buttons have disappeared? Or is there another reason?

When I received a request to grade the answer I received to the question I had asked a few days before, and I clicked on the button "Grade answer" the same page reappears again with no changes. Nothing appears to allow me to actually grade the answer. I don't know if I was logged on when I asked the question, but I did log on to try to grade the answer after several other tries. I have given up. With previous questions, I had no difficulty grading the answer. Has the software changed?

| Same problem as Heather | Oct 8, 2005 |
I ask a question from another computer, and I was not logged in.
Then I get the same.
Steffen, I don't understand your reply.
It is by clicking on http://www.proz.com/support and then on Tech support forum that we came here. I don't see any other way to report a problem.

To grade a question that you asked while you were not logged in, you need to follow two steps:
1. Make sure you do not use the latest ("beta") KudoZ interface. To change to the previous ("V3") interface, click on the small link ("V3 design") centered on top of any KudoZ question page. (To return to the new design after grading, click on "Beta test new design" in the same location).
2. Open the question page by clicking on the link contained in your e-mail notification of this question. This link ends with a password. If you have lost this link, you can ask a moderator to re-send it (be sure to quote the link to the question).
Now you can grade the answer by clicking on "Grade/Decline". After grading, you can switch back to the new design with the "Beta test new design" link.

| Problem with grading | Dec 2, 2005 |
I am new to kudoZ, and that's probably the reason of my problem.
To one of my questions I received two answers. Both fit exellently to my translation being formal and informal versions of the same expression (I need both). Is there a possiblility to grade both answers, either by maximum points amount each or by dividing the maximum between the two? If yes, how can I do that?

MODERATOR | Only one answer can be chosen | Dec 2, 2005 |
Hello and welcome to ProZ.com!
This is the difficulty many KudoZers encounter when asking a question: two (or more) perfectly good answers are offered; but in theory you will chose the most useful to your translation... and that's the one you should award points to.
Quite often we wish we could divide the points, but it is not possible within this system.
I hope this answers your question.

2. Thank the others by name in your comments when grading a KudoZ answer, and mention what, specifically, was helpful about each answer.
3. Where applicable, include additional terminology from those other helpful answers in the glossary entry you create. This way, those terms will be searchable for anyone else needing solutions to future, similar problems.

Sorry to bother, but I've got another problem. What if the most suitable answer appears not in answers but in a comment to an answer? What should I do in such a case?

This means that the member thought that his answer completed the previous one and he doesn't want the points (or thinks he doesn't deserve them because he just improved the previous answer).
In such a case I think that I'd chose that answer and explain that the comment was really useful, thanking the peergrader too.

Sorry to bother again but I made a mistake and accidently graded a totally wrong answer instead of the right one. How can I change it?
