Square Wheels Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 How do I enable Mark Solved? My members really like using thi, but I can't find it anymore.
JarredB Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Hi Square Wheels, The Q&A system as been improved since v3 to allow people to also rate up/down answers. You can enabled this by changing your forum to a "Question" forum. "Mark as Solved" is now called "Mark as Best Answer". You can mark it by clicking on the tick icon.
Square Wheels Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 That's a shame. I don't want to use the Q&A option, I think that is very confusing for people.One more thing that is missing from what we had.
Management Charles Posted March 3, 2015 Management Posted March 3, 2015 We changed the system to the Q&A mode as that is what so many clients were asking for. People wanted a more complex system dedicated to Question and then an Answer.The old Mark as Solved thing was just like a normal forum discussion where you just sort of tagged a post as the answer and all it did was change it green and put a badge on the forum listing.We have an idea for a future implementation that will do what Mark as Solved did and a whole lot more. It will arrive in a not too distance release.
Management Charles Posted March 3, 2015 Management Posted March 3, 2015 Thank you Charles. I just don't want you thinking we didn't care about this one ... it was done for a reason based on feedback. But I think our broader implementation of the post marking will be something that works for you.

I have v4.1.15 and I cannot enable it in the discussion forum. Frankly, this was the function that I most desired in the forum. Is there any workaround for this? Or maybe a working, up to date plugin?
Gabriel Torres Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 @Charles incidentaly I was going to open a topic about this. @Adriano Faria made a plugin a while ago that restored this functionality, which was great, as the database table still had the is_solved row, so the information of all topics that were marked as solved in the 3.4.x series was preserved. However, this plugin had a few bugs that he couldn't solve, so he simply decided to remove the plugin from the marketplace and make it unsupported/discontinued. We are anxiously waiting for this feature to be restored to IPS, as it is one of the most requested features by our users and moderators. Cheers, Gabriel.

It's still on the radar... but so are thousands of other things. I wish there were more hours in the day.

I have an in house equivalent plugin (which would not be compatible with other sites because it was designed around a custom theme), and it seems to be working correctly.
Adriano Faria Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Just now, Colonel_mortis said: What issues did he have? Time to support it. No one elae wanted to take the file then I dropped it from MP.

Adriano Faria Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Support requests everytime, some things that I couldn't reproduce, etc. not from Gabriel especifically... but it was really taking time from paid stuff, which should always be preferencial.
Gabriel Torres Posted October 4, 2016 Posted October 4, 2016 Well @Adriano Faria I told you three times that if you would fix the bugs I'd pay you for it... @Colonel_mortis basically the "SOLVED" badge was not being displayed at the list of topics.
