The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Patrick,

Your welcome!  I'm glad I could help.  Thanks for the grade, the points and the fun question.

Most ISPs do give some web space but there is a good chance it is limited and won't allow any server language, etc.  That may not be the case but if it is then you can use a cheap web host.  There are many with very reasonable prices that offer what you need for everything we have talked about above.  One that I have heard good things about is HostMonster.com .  There are many others out there so you have some great options if your ISP won't work.

Good luck. :)

bol,

My last ISP supported FTP, as I used it for uploading files (using SmartFTP) that could be accessed in EE's Excel forum. Not needed now that one can attach files. My ISP was good until they completely failed in the whole service to me - so I ditched them for another.

I'll get the book you recommend and start from there. I've got plenty of time before I need to be using an ISP's webspace or paying for hosting.

I've just had a look at your profile - now I understand why you think it's all pretty easy! I suppose it's a bit like me with Excel - except by the looks of it you're an IT professional, whereas I'm just an amateur - and always have been on IT tech matters. I just like learning new stuff - it's an age thing (63).

Thanks again,

Patrick
