How come it still says answer? Unless I have no idea what i'm doing (and I don't) I want it to be like so others can post a response not as a answer.

I don't think that's possible...

With the thread as a question you can select a best answer. With the thread as a discussion ( as it was before I changed it ) it's just that. A discussion. No best answer is selected. Both types can have answers posted to them though.

I've just unselected my own best answers that the thread starter [OP] gave me.
Why can I do that?
Is it normal?
Will I get them back?

If you unselected it, then no, you won't be credited for that.
Why did you unselect it?

 

[Mike BD]

I thought he selected wrong because after I've got my other best answer in motherboards it has been taken away.

 

[Mike BD]

So I assume that 2 BAs are not to be given back.

In your recent history, I see two BA's that were given to you, that you deselected.

You used to have 6. Now you have 4.

Yes,as I already told you,I thought it was like in the previous case when my BA had to be out for a better one.
I thought the OP gave me a kind of a request.

 

[Mike BD]

Look what I meant:

It says ''unselect current solution'' and ''pick up as the solution'',things that made me thought,in the previous cases,I gotta unselect those 2.

That "Unselect" is there in case someone accidentally picked the wrong answer. Just leave it.

Ok.Thanks.
How about my latest BAs?
Will you pick them up as mines,please?

What do you mean 'pick them up' ?
The selection of a BA is best left up to the person who started the thread.

 

[Someone Somewhere]

I think this is about their own ones they deselected.

You're right.
But,anyone from the staff [as you are,for instance] can select/deselect the ''picked'' BA to provide the best content for the further members who may have the same issue.

Yes. But generally we don't, unless it is blatantly wrong, or if someone is trying to game the system.

 

[Mike BD]

I see.
Well,I said it because...after I deselected the BAs,nobody else replied,and...if the answers are marked again as the solutions,further threads with same subjects will be rare/even inexistent.

I fixed it for you.

Can someone unselect a "best answer" that a moderator apparently selected on a question I asked? The selected answer in no way answers my question - all it does is tell me to do what I already tried, which didn't work. I even replied to that post saying I had already tried it and that it didn't work, and got no response from the person who posted that answer. Someone else gave me something useful to try, although it didn't work, and if a question-thread must have a "best answer" to be closed, that one should get it. Otherwise, just close it without a best answer, because no-one posted an actual solution. I ended up finding it in another thread (which I cannot find now).

Great, thanks. Is there a way to close that thread without selecting a "best answer"? Because my problem is now solved and I don't remember what I did, nor can I find the post I used to do it, so I can't post the actual answer. I don't want this to happen again on this thread...

 

[Someone Somewhere]

Done.
