   I have n oticed that even though i have added a weighting to my rated values they aren't computing properly...

   Do i need to turn something on?

   Values for weights should be between 0 and 2, that's 100% bellow and above the normalized value of 1. It's calculated like this:

   $weight_norm = array_sum($set->weight);
   $overall = 0;
   for ($i = 0; $i < count($values); $i++) {
     $overall += ($values[$i] * $set->weight[$i]) / $weight_norm;
   }
   $overall = @number_format($overall, 1);

   i have updated my weights to be .25 each as there are 4 options to rate by in my multi rating block.

   The Part where it says
   Rate: 3.1/5 should really say 62/100

   I understand that this is supposed to be working...but is the rate supposed to be rendered like that.

   All ratings are in the end normalized to number of stars. You can use filters to adjust what is actually displayed. But if you set 5 stars for a rating block, maximum value is 5, not 100.

   i understand how it works now...

   so because i have set weighting values equally the final rating comes out without any real changes...

   maybe it is something you should include in a future build...

   just a thought.

   Thanks for the help, and a great plugin

   As I said, output can be modified by adding filter function, and I don't plan to do anything else about this.
