Have You Seen? Post a thread as a Question rather than a Discussion!

[LondonDragon]

Hi everyone,

Forum now as the built-in capability to handle question threads.

What is the difference?
This will enable a voting option panel on the right-hand side which a member can vote for the replies given, the starter of the thread or moderation team can also flag an answer as the answer to the question, or the best answer. Once that happens that answer will automatically be displayed below the first post in the thread as the answer.

Might be useful in some scenarios I will leave that to members discretion when to use, a post cannot be converted from Discussion to Question and vice-versa!

I have now enabled this on all the forum that are appropriate for questions to be asked under.

When starting a new thread you will have the option to post it as a question:

You can also disable voting if you wish to!


Quick silly example just to highlight it:

On the threads list it will show questions with ? icon, and if solved will have a tick next to it!

Let me know what you think and if it's something we should leave enabled?

Cheers
Paulo

I think that's a great idea! I often think of quick fire questions I want to ask but making it into a discussion thread seems weird. Look forward to using it.


Expert at nothing, dab hand at many.

Sounds a great idea/addon. Someone asks a question then lots of different answers and who is correct, should help save having to read all the incorrect replies so could be very helpful

Sounds like a good idea to me.

BookFace also has this functionality! Nice addition.
