Logged in as 2 different users (normal profile user accounts) in two different browsers, they both can both rate an item successfully.

But whilst the rating value changes, the rating_count does not increase. Subsequent ratings are replacing the previous rating, not adding to it.

If I set the rating delay timer to 1, only the first user can rate the item. It becomes locked for all users once it has been rated once.

Could be because I’m on a localhost setup, but I thought that logged in users ratings relied on the _user_id, not the ip address.

This is correct - it's changing an existing value, not adding a new one.

This is because you are rating from the same IP address - the rating module tries to prevent cheating/gaming of the rating system by looking at multiple identifiers and won't let a user rate an item multiple times just cause they log out and back in as another user.

It looks at both.

Hope this helps!
