Idk if this would be possible for you to do...
but how about a thumbs up/thumbs down system for each post or thread?
Just an idea
It has been suggested before, here was her response:

I've been asked about this before. There are a few issues. All RS Linkify users are anonymous, so I have no way of knowing if people like once or 1000 times.
But there are other issues too. It depends on what you want to like. Likes for threads and or likes for posts both have different pros and cons. All the data has to be stored somewhere, users local storage is out of question (holding every like/dislike for every thread and perhaps every post is just too much). An external server isn't practical because again I can't authenticate users. That leaves storing the data in posts. The problem then is many automated page requests to tally the data.
It's really easy to do, if you have access to the server that's hosting the pages. But I have access to browser (with huge limitations) and nothing more. Sadly it's not something I can do properly.

I was thinking about the like/dislike thing, and if this doesn't help any than you can disregard it. If it does help, then yay
When someone clicks the like or dislike button, would it be possible to send that to your website, but pair it with the persons name from the top right corner?
http://puu.sh/4t4BQ.jpg
Clearly the person needs to be logged in for their name to display there, and at least in the HLF you wouldn't be able to click the like/dislike without being logged in.
So it pulls a "Like" and pairs it to "Keighlea" and stores it on your site. If I try to click like again, it searches through the existing ones to see if my name already exists, and if it does, the vote is kicked out. Or if I changed my mind on my vote, maybe it could check for my name, and then my existing vote? So if it was originally Like:Keighlea, and I click dislike, it would replace the like with dislike?
Then you can just pull the likes/dislikes from your site and total them somehow?
I say all that but I have no idea how difficult it would probably be, just a thought I had that might allow you to make sure there's no.. "skewing" of results, without a complicated authentication system

That seems like a good idea to me Korey. Linkify would need to keep track of all of it's users though...
On another note, Linkify is working for me again. I'm not sure what was up with it that one day.

A little late, but congratulations on getting stuck!
Nice to see you're actively progressing forward with the limits you've got to work with.

@Blasty, that sounds great and I'm glad you're still working on it. In answer to your question yes I can read the URL to get the dimensions. But it would be a nice for me if you were to use URL parameters like this...
That way there is no mistaking where the height parameter is and if you ever want to add more parameters they are easily distinguished. If that's not do-able that's cool too

I'll get back to you on that, but just so I don't raise your hopes, not likely soz
