Just got back on and found they have changed the rating system a little bit. There is no longer any radio buttons on the far right side - just up/down arrows. It also seemed to only show me new photos to rate. Went pretty well until the end. The end had only two - after clicking submit I got a screenful of text like the program dumped. Anyway, they seem to be improving it.
