Best Answer System

[Rawrplus]

Today we've launched a new system on forums, called "Best Answer".

This allows users to mark the most helpful replies to a topic. This should be preferably used in Support section, Suggestion and Feedback., Graphic Requests and sometimes maybe even in other boards.
Users who will be able to mark the best answer:

- Users who create the topic can mark one of the replies as a best answer.
- Moderators of the board it was posted in
- Forum Administrators.

It's not an update of a huge significance but we hope this will improve the browsing of our forums. If you use the best answer system to highlight something for no reason, or because of subjectivity, moderators reserve the rights to warn you and progress with further punishment. We have given this feature to you, because we entrust you to not abuse it, so please, don't go around marking every single reply.

Sounds cool

But if we were to vote up an comment, Like its usefulness - Does it go to to the top or just get highlighted?

To avoid confusion, likes system is to share sympathy with the author of the post and it's content, or even a particular reply to the post. The Best Answer system is used to highlight one particular reply that either the moderators/administerator/or the user wishes to highlight.

For example, let's say I have an issue with my graphics card. I'll post in support section. Somebody posts a solution, so I will highlight the reply for everybody to see so they can see, which reply helped me to fix the issue, instead of having to try to search through every method posted.

Likes have no direct influence on the Best Answer System.

Nice job, add it in general offtopc for some fun spam

When i think of it, Wouldnt it be better if the reply went up as the top comment & Highlighted?

Cause i see some subject has pages to scroll through & Will probaly arise again, And yet people needs to scroll through em all to find an highlighted one

The idea is alright, And helps out a tad bit ... but still lots of searching for the highlit reply

It basically works like this. On top of the topic it informs you that a topic contains a best answer, and you can click on redirection link if you wish to see it immediately and also highlights the particular post, when and by whom.

My usual fee is much higher, but i guess i can make that work

Sounds awesome, nice job.

The color green takes way too much attention and the borders are way to big

What i would suggest is to change the default green color from the plugin to something more darker like this? #1B951B Also changing the borders size px to 1-2?

Yeah I could potentially. This was just the initial build.

Shouldn't it be like that? It's meant to grab peoples' attention and tell you that THIS is the best solution thus I wouldn't change anything with this as it looks okay to me.

That doesn't mean it must take full attention of the visitors as there might be other-similar solutions which work just as fine but just because they are not highlighted doesn't mean people should ONLY follow the one which is?

Don't you think?

could you make the colors slightly more like the forum theme?

I love the idea, though i think it can be made less hurtfull to my eyes

It seems that you're completely missing out the whole idea behind this mod.. Also, this doesn't take the whole page so why would you want even smaller? It doesn't scream, "I'M THE ONLY SOLUTION IN THIS TOPIC!" but "I've been selected as the best solution out of others in this thread." I'm doing web design just like you and I know you'll just throw your thoughts and completely ignore mine but you can't argue about 1-2 px's of the border that's not gonna do a huge ass difference..
