This may have already been answered somewhere else, but I can't find anything, so here's the question:

Is it possible to add a star type rating (5 stars good, 1 star bad) to your online database and the desktop database?

It's not really possible in the standard online database, at least that I am aware of...

You can however add stars (1 to 5) in your desktop database where it shows "Review" (click on the small gray/black arrow box) in any profile.

To change those from the default bars, just go into "Options" and then "Display" and change where it shows "Bars" to "Stars" (DVD Review) in the pull down menu. You can also change there to have simple or detailed ratings.

Thanks very much for your help! It's a pity the online database doesn't allow for this?

Sadly the online profile is from a time when Netscape Navigator was still a household name.

I suppose there is a work around that would allow a star rating:

Go to the Overview tab on the Edit screen, and before the movie summary add:

RATING:  ***

This would at least give online visitors a chance to decide whether a movie is worth watching or not?
