caramiame on "[Plugin: Post Ratings] Update"

Update blew out my ratings.

I was pleased to see an update for this handy plugin, which I've been using on a business directory for a few years, now. Some of my posts and listings have 1000+ ratings.

After I updated today, all the ratings blew out.

What I used to see was a row of 5 stars, in yellow, depending on the average rating, and immediately after was the number of votes and the average score.

After the update, the stars were gone completely, and only the text information (votes, score) remains. For instance 4.00 avg. rating (90% score) - 13 votes.

I opened up the post and where the custom fields typically displayed that numerical information, I reentered the data in the custom fields. When I did that, the stars appeared, but they were greyed out. When I click on them, I cannot vote -- no votes will register by me, or any of my staff on different computers.

After that, I cleared cache, and perhaps that the worst thing I could have done, because now, every post (300+), every business listing (1200+) and every page have 0 votes, 0 stars, and 0 ratings, and the stars are all grey and do not respond to click votes.

I've had to deactivate the plug-in because it makes my 17-year website look like no one uses it or votes, and this surely is misleading and distressing.

What happened, do you think?
