##            Notes:  - Only MySQL and MySQLi are currently supported.
##                    - Purging or altering your database will cause Rate
##                      Topic to work improperly and may cause errors.
##                    - Ratings by banned members will not count so long as
##                      their ban is in effect.
##                    - Administrators have the following options:
##                      - Enable or disable Rate Topic
##                      - Use star images or numbers
##                      - Default language
##                      - Image packages
##                    - Having no star image packages will cause Rate Topic
##                      to default to using numbers.
##                    - Having corrupt star image packages will not cause
##                      PunBB to error, may yield images that do not display.
##                    - Guests may not vote or see who voted for a topic, but
##                      they may see the rating for a topic.
##                    - If a Rate Topic language file is not found, some pages
##                      will display an error, and others will justdefault to
##                      disabling Rate Topic.
##                    - If you decide to uninstall Rate Topic, run the
##                      install_mod.php file and click the restore button. You
##                      may choose to either remove the code that was added
##                      into viewforum.php and viewtopic.php, but it is not
##                      necessary for PunBB to continue working properly.
##                    - If you want to remove all ratings, uninstall Rate
##                      Topic and then install it again.
