I recently published a recipe article. The guidelines recommend you use the star rating capsule in order for the recipe to rank with Google. However, several readers have commented that the capsule won't allow them to choose five stars. What's up with that? Is the rating capsule experiencing problems?
I just went through it and it is working perfectly. When you click 5 stars, it averages previous votes also. It was 4.3 when I visited. I clicked 5 star and the average is now 4.4 stars. So nothing to worry.
They must have fixed it, Venkatachari. Several readers before you said they were unable to click the 5th star.
I just saw your answer, so it looks like things are working now, so you probably already know that there are three types of ratings: Your Rating Audience Rating Audience Recipe Rating
and that you have to edit the capsule and choose which one you want.

I have poll capsules in two of my hubs that don't seem to be working properly. They don't seem to give the user a chance to answer, but instead show what has already been answered. I'm not sure if there is a flag set once you've answered the question so that you can't answer it again,...

I just had one of these capsules snipped from a hub. Why can't we use them in non-recipe hubs? If Hubpages had pages coded to support Google Review stars, hubs would stand out from the competition in search results (Wikihow and similar sites support them).
