"To improve the plugin's accuracy, answer more questions publicly and rank them as "Very Important" or "Mandatory". You can also click the "Improve Accuracy" link at the top of this panel to help out."

Question importance changed and there are no longer private questions.

Also, plugin doesn't distinguish between when I haven't answered enough questions and they haven't answered enough questions. (It's surprising how many people have answered 0 questions.)

Text updated to reflect the removed "Mandatory" ranking. It'll be in the next release when I have time to get it out there.

Private questions still exist -- you have to click the lock button in the upper right of the question area.

I haven't looked into this since the redesign. I wonder if there's an easy way of getting the number questions you answered... see, it's very relative though. So if I only care about people who don't drink, and I don't care about any other metrics, I don't have to answer many questions if I answer the right ones. I think getting info and calculating whether users need to answer more questions might be too difficult, since I don't have an API. I don't think all the info to make that happen well is on the pages I'm scraping already. I'll mark as closed for now, but reopen if you have any ideas on how to implement this easily without increasing the number of pages the plugin scrapes.

The only thing I can think of is to cache the results of the scrape and figure out for a given metric if the self or the other answered more questions about it.

The fast solution would be to rephrase the text to not blame the user.

Changing to:

'To improve the plugin\'s general accuracy, answer more questions publicly and rank them as "Very Important".'

It's true that answering more questions will improve the accuracy generally, but not necessarily for every profile they visit. I'm open to better suggestions though. :)
