 * Hi,
    I am using this plugin from past 1 year but today somehow it started causing
   problem for my website to load.
 * If i see my MYSQL queries i see these queries stuck:-
 * STATE:-
    Copying to tmp table
 * INFO:-
    SELECT DISTINCT wp_posts.*, (t1.meta_value+0.00) AS ratings_average, (
   t2.meta_value+0.00) AS ratings
 * As soon as i disable the plugin the queries finish and my server is no more overloaded
   and site loads in proper speed.
 * Can you kindly suggest what can be the issue here.
 * Thanks

 * I don think it will suddenly cause it to overload. Did you recently use any more
   plugins to add on to the load? Disable some plugins but leave PostRatings activated?
 * You may want to use some form of caching like W3 Total Cache or WP-SuperCache.
 * You posted in the wrong forum. This is for WP-PostViews
