EP Site Updates & New Features [See True Democracy in Action]

We are aware that many of the regular readers of TFTS also visit our sister site, e-Potpourri, so we thought we would offer a brief update here concerning a number of new features that we’ve added to EP that allow you to see true democracy in action (the coding of which called for us to work into the small hours, hence the downturn in posting here on TFTS whilst we wrestled with the required PHP).

As those who have visited EP will know, the site’s main focus is in presenting the reader with new items that we think are particularly cool (or, on a few occasions, perhaps not) which readers subsequently vote on from a ‘what’s cool and what’s not’ perspective.

Until now whilst feedback has been provided allowing readers to see how many votes each item has received and the average score awarded there has been no facility to allow readers to gain a wider perspective as to the overall standings of items – and this is something we have now addressed after a great deal of head scratching and pulling of hair).

Thanks to the addition of three new pages at last we can offer the reader an up to the minute snapshot as to the overall top 50 highest voted/rated items on the site, the current highest rated items in each specific primary category and the current least rated items featured on the site. All standings are updated continuously so ongoing voting effects the standings on a minute by minute basis – thus allowing readers to see the impacts of their voting as well as to see true democracy in action.

Interested parties can read about these new features via our News page at EP.

(As a side note, longstanding readers will note that once upon a time we ran a voting system here at TFTS but this was removed on account of not proving particularly popular)
