There are two methods you can use to view the highest rated messages within a thread.

• Ratings filter/Minimum rating: Within each discussion is a Ratings filter/Minimum rating feature that includes a pull-down menu. Selecting a number of stars using this box affects your experience by only displaying messages with a rating that is above or the same as the number of stars you select. For example, if you select a Ratings Filter level of 4 stars, only messages with overall ratings of 4 or 5 stars are displayed.
• Sorting: In either the list of topics/threads or when viewing the Simple or Simple Expanded views within a topic/thread, you can sort based on ratings. Clicking the "(Avg)Rating" header immediately re-sorts the list and displays a small arrow to indicate whether the sort is in ascending or descending order. This makes it easy to see the topics/threads or messages with the highest ratings first.

Note: Keep in mind that if your Ratings filter/Minimum rating is set high, you might be missing many of the messages in the discussion.
