Cerbera Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) I have started getting emails recently encouraging me to revisit older posts and mark them solved, if the problem was answered. I am very familiar with this functionality and use it all the time on other forums, but here it makes no sense. The facility to mark a thread as solved isn't available to non-moderators as far as I can see, not in the 3 dots to edit, or the moderator options (such as they exist for standard users), or anywhere else in the thread, unless I have missed it ! Therefore, presuming I am not in error, we should either a) turn on the solved component for regular users or b) stop sending the emails asking us to do it ! Cheers guys Edited January 20, 2023 by RagingGrandpa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Never heard or seen that something can be marked as solved. There is no option like that for me, too. I googled it, and apparently it is something the admin can switch on in the forum options (marking a reply as "best answer" by the thread starter or by the mods). Could you paste an example email (with a link to something that you supposedly can mark as solved)? Thanks for bringing this up. Why would you get emails about a disabled feature?

Cerbera Posted November 21, 2022 Author Share Posted November 21, 2022 I see we can turn the notifications off by clicking a link, and that does work, but was just curious why I was getting mails about functionality that isn't enabled. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Today I got such an email. Exactly the same thing. Seems this is still ongoing. Anybody else got such reminder e-mails from the forum? We'll report this as a bug to the Invision people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 A checkbox was checked and now there should be no more e-mails. I don't suppose anybody actually wants the "Mark as solution" functionality to be enabled? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't suppose anybody actually wants the "Mark as solution" functionality to be enabled? It makes sense only for a few of the posts here - the ones that ask specific questions, but even then doesn't make much sense because there is often more than one correct answer or piece of advice, and often there is no singular winner. I reckon just leave that off... We have it on over at Core4d.com because nearly every post there is a question, and nearly all of them have a single correct, or 'most correct' answer.
