Tinman,
I can't duplicate the same problem on my end. The only time you will get that message is if your "Rate This User" is turned off in your preferences.
In this case - your "Rate This User" feature is turned off. You can go into your user menu area and turn it back on.
Hope this helps.

If you look under your user name one can see who has their user rating turned off or not. Yours is off. If you look at mine it is on. In your case when you signed up you turned it off. This is no longer a choice for new members to have it is now set to always on. Therefore because of where the setting is you can't edit your rating feature at this time. Info is disclosed in the terms. We are in the process of upgrading the software and at that time you will be able to edit your rating choice, and turn your ratings on. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
Hi McBride!!! Glad to see you’re posting more often these days.
As for the rating to Dryrun! You have the right idea, but are looking to rate him under the wrong heading. Next to the word profiles at the front page of the forum is the word, "rating". Click on that link, to open to the users. Click on the letter "D", and Dry Run is at the very bottom of the list.
There is also another way to rate a user. If you see the words, “Rate This User” under his or her name or “X-points” you can click on that and rate that user.
Take this thread. You have "4 points". If you click on the link, it will open and tell you who rated you and what they have to say. If you look at Tinman’s, he doesn’t have a rating under his name. The reason for that is when he signed up, he chose not to turn that option on. Since then we (The Mod’s) have decided to remove that feature, and now all new members have to have their rating turned on.

The rating is a good way to praise a person for helping you on this form. It is sort of like giving that person a “pat on the back”, an “ad a boy”, or his or her “Kudos”. It can also be used to rate someone acting like a "fool", "giving bad advice", or just flat out being "a pain it butt", by giving that person a negative rating.
The rating is to be used on this forum; it shouldn’t be used because one has a personal grudge against another, or for issues that may happen out side of this forum. Some people seem to forget the forum rating is for that very reason. It seems some people don’t like others for what ever reason and will use this rating against that person. That isn’t what the rating on this forum is for. If you don’t like someone, so be it! But PLEASE!!! Don’t attack him or her using the rating, if it doesn’t pertain to our forum. Thank you all.
