Russell Barlow Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Was thinking it would be nice to have a way to mark a response in a thread as a Solution. Basically making it easier to find answers to questions already asked before in the past. A good example is here where Ron answered and gave the solution to his original question in the thread. Would be nice to mark that as the solution. http://fmforums.com/forum/topic/76035-client-cant-see-server/page__view__findpost__p__358469 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comment Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Based on my short experience in another forum: too often, inexperienced posters mark the wrong post as "the solution". It's not that they mark the wrong post by mistake (although that happens, too) - they just don't have the skills to make a judgment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean West Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 although its a feature that does have some merit - comment is correct that it is somewhat a hard one to solve or leave it solely in one users hand (topic starter) - not without a designated forum curator to validate them as such. with FMP there are many ways to accomplish the same goal, so marking a post as solved, can eliminate or invalidate any such claim when a more elegant / suitable / compact / method becomes available. I am keeping an eye on different 'mods' and enhancements for the forums - if I come across something that makes sense then I will add that.
