Highlighting / flagging an answer
« on: June 14, 2012, 12:08:33 PM »
Is there a feature or mod that would allow admin to easily "highlight" an Answer/Resolution Post after the first post as the "best" Answer or Resolution to a question?

There is an ability on Web Wiz Forum software that is quite slick.

You might consider doing it LinkedIn style, where the poster rates answers as "good" and (optionally) one as "best". The answers are displayed best - good - others. It would be a matter of sorting first on "goodness" and then on date. Say, "best" is 2, "good" is 1, default/others is 0.

This would normally be combined with something that LOCKS (Closes, in LinkedIn) the topic so no more answers can be added after good/best have been selected. A PM or email could be sent to all whose post was selected good or best, congratulating them on that. Some count could be kept of good and best answers, to be displayed in the info area as a badge.
Please do not PM me with support questions, unless I ask you to. Unsolicited PMs for support will be ignored. It's best to have questions and answers in public, so others can research a problem and learn about it without having to ask the question yet again. Thank you!
