# Show spinner/loading image while processing

 * Hi,
 * It’s a nice plugin and very light weighted. I was trying to customize it for 
   a website that I am working on. 🙂
 * Although I was looking for a way to add a spinner (loading.gif) image on click.
 * Right now when someone click on vote +/- button, it takes 1-2 seconds to vote
   and during that time nothing happens.
 * I was wondering is there a way to display loading.gif on click and disappear 
   when voting count updates. Should be able to do with jQuery just like “already
   voted message”.

 * Haven’t tried but maybe you can do that by attaching an event handler to the 
   vote buttons.
 * Maybe you’ll have to change the plugin’s code.

 * Hi Rick.
 * Yes I have done that. You are right, I had to modify the plugin code, so finally
   I moved it as theme include since I will not be able to update it.
 * Thanks for the awesome plugin! 🙂

 * Glad you could do it. You could have also just changed the files directly and
   edit the version number to 99. So you don’t need to put the files in your theme
   🙂

 * That’s ok because I was not using admin +/- interface and shortcodes. So it’s
   only 2 functions for me that I added in my functions.php and of course .js and.
   css file too. Working great!
 * Although I would suggest you to also add one more meta key for “Total number 
   of rating” because a lot of people would like to display most rates posts, just
   like most up and down rated posts. 🙂
