What the problem with these widgets?
Does it work on 'most clicked' or 'most votes'?

Dean, it works on a Bayesian formula that uses the # of votes as well as the average vote...so an image with one 5-star vote doesn't rank higher than an image 5,000 votes that average out to 4.9-stars.
For the site that I'm using this on, I'm using GD-Star Rating (GDSR by Milan Petrovic), but to use this, you would need to implement something that creates individual posts for each image since GDSR only works on posts and comments at this time. GDSR is the most complete rating thing out there.
You can see what I'm doing with PhotoSmash, PhotoSmash Extend, and GDSR at: stlouie.com

Ah ok, visually, i dont think it works or the user can understand that. Other than the one appearing first is the most popular.
because on the image is says the amount of votes cast. i.e the first image has 4, second, 1 and the third 6. To me, the voted work up one if positive and minus one if negative. So to me, 6 should be first.
Or am i wrong? Im using the thumbs up and thumbs down rating system

You're probably right...I'll need to check. I did the highest rated sorting based on # of stars, and even that hasn't been tested with large amounts of data. I don't think I considered the thumbs for highest rated. I'll have to look into it. I'll be out of pocket for a week here, so it will be a bit before I can look.
Thanks for the heads up.BB
