@Steve: I agree. You shouldn’t force users to rate. You should try to develop their sensitiveness and make them more aware of the rating.
I opened the page titled “Vera’s Diary for beginners.” I found four gold stars and one grey star. But I could not find any descriptions about the meaning of the number of gold stars. Besides, I don’t know what the criteria for evaluating each lesson are.
Are the stars supposed to show the popularity or the quality? What is the purpose of the rating? I think that “try and err” is not always bad, but it sometimes results in a disaster.
@Vera - Can you send me a screenshot of the rating window being too small. I can’t seem to make that happen on any of my browsers. I just want to see what should be happening.

Thanks, Vera. We’ll take a look at this issue.
