drew Automatic Premium join:2002-07-10 Port Orchard, WA kudos:6	reply to samburgers uhm.. I'm definitely against this feature, but if it's going to stay, then can we get a non annoying graphic? at LEAST some transparency.. that way it doesn't interfere with the dark themes.

Kalford Seems To Be An Rtfm Problem. Premium,MVM join:2001-03-20 Ontario kudos:1	reply to samburgers Its a very well intended addition and seems to be a nice idea . . . at first glance. But when people start flagging things as "accepted answer" that are the wrong advice I can see it leading to problems (or worse the potential problems that will occur when "malicious" members, that think they "Own", start purposely abusing the feature.). There is also the consideration that this feature will lead people (future readers) to ignore otherwise perfectly good advice from others and/or more importantly missing the correct answer and wind up implementing a potentially damaging "solution" flagged as the "accepted answer". Let's be realistic folks - The person starting the thread is looking for help, meaning they don't know the right answer to begin with. They may not be the right one to be flagging any specific answer as the correct one. (and this is how such a tag will be interpreted by most coming to the site) and one last thought on this. . . Have you ever spent hours fixing someone's system because they followed the wrong advice of some other "well intended" person? -- "There are 10 types of people in this world.

INTENS1 Never Stop Trying Premium,MVM join:2002-04-21 Midwest kudos:2	I like it, but the concerns/ideas stated above have merit. I say let's give it a try and if it doesn't seem to be working as intended, at least then we will have some examples to base any necessary changes that may need to be made. -- Anticipate Nothing...Expect Everything

Flagger Premium join:2001-08-10 Weimville	reply to samburgers The area under the username is already pretty cluttered as it is. I would vote for something less intrusive if possible. However, I do like the idea of the original poster being able to let the person know that solution worked for them. Will let others know at a glance their problem was resolved. Hard enough to get people to come back and post that their problem was solved though. Would be nice if there was a way to incorporate those threads with problems solved into the search so those that use the search function can easily find a thread with their problem and a solution.

Transparency is on its way... don't worry. A JPG preview was used instead of a transparent file due to some file format mishaps. It will be fixed.

acehyde Tired. Premium join:2001-08-14	reply to samburgers Has there been a FAQ posted on the Accepted Answer yet (if so, can the image have a hyperlink to the FAQ attached?) Is there going to be a way to revoke the Accepted Answer if it turns out to be not correct (or there is a better way)?
