Ah yes sorry, would happen if the first rating was a like. I'll fix that for the next update

That's currently not possible by design, there is just a minor bug that allows you to rate a post with a like followed by any other rating in cases such as having two tabs open of the same post.
I don't personally see any reason for having more than one rating per user per post, plus it means changing some of the queries and ui, but I might make it an option.

You should have received PostRating.zip via email - as a new customer you will always receive the latest version (1.0.2 currently).
If you didn't receive anything, PM me your email address and I'll sort it out asap.

Great addon, one I'll be adding into my site when I get onto it 
Just out of interest, if you have no neutral or negative ratings, do the various points on the site that list ratings in the 0 / 0 / 0 format change to +0 if no neutral / negatives or 0 / 0 if there are only two types?
Reason I ask is that the current rep system on vB causes grief between members when people leave -ve comments, so one good thing with the standard XF like system is that its only +ve. I know we can simply just create positive ratings, but if we do that it would look a bit odd if the neutral and negative scores were always 0.

[thank - disagree]
if the options were limited to 'like' and 'dislike', people might not want to click both. but if your choices were like, agree, disagree, thank, laugh, groan, hug, and slap there are many combinations people might wish to click.

Can you vote from the choices on the left ? (ie. choices already picked).

That isn't the case right now but will be in the next update
I guess it depends on your usage, personally I think that would devalue the ratings and lead to clutter.
I'll look into making it an option though anyway
Probably best to keep it consistent I think - input on the right and output on the left is pretty much how the likes system is

There's no postbit integration just yet - got a few places on my to-do list that need integrated with and it's one of them
