Is this a new feature? Some loglines I posted this week have had a bunch of people scoring them on a 5-star scale... but I've got dozens of loglines that've been on my page for years that have never been scored. Wondering if this is some new thing?

Christopher Phillips OK, thanks. It's just weird that my stuff's never gotten voted on before... but the ones I put up a few days ago people are scoring.

Travis Seppala I've noticed sometimes that if a logline is recently posted, it will show up in my feed. Otherwise, I would have to look for them on the site.
