Specifically the mechanism for voting submitted content up/down?

What would be involved?

How much time/$$$?

A lot, depending on how secure/idiot proof you want

Time/$$$ depends on what its integrating into. I could imagine it taking about 60-100 hours, maybe less for a professional with experience.

what specifically are you looking to do?

you can probably find a plugin for Wordpress or Movable Type or something that does something similar for comments and maybe look at the source

Let's just say a basic web site with the ability for users to vote up/down user-submitted content.

Rather than headlines linking to external Web pages, it'd be titles linking to internal Web pages.

As an example (JUST an example), think of TWW with the ability for users to vote a thread up or down. It'd be constructed similarly, with the "thread" pages linked internally and users could vote "up/down" next to the thread title on the message board page. [No, the idea is not a message board, but similar.]

I'm not thinking it'd be THAT hard. But I have only a slightly better than novice understanding of back-end work.

write a check.

Thanks, but [obvious].

What I'm guesstimating at is the required size of the check...

I absolutely love it when non-programmers try and say something involving programming is easy or not that hard

^ Eat your own shit.



I've programmed professionally.

Almost a decade ago.

But it's all about investments now.

I have no fucking clue how to code this back-end Internets shit anymore.
