Suddenly have the option to set/remove best solution in some threads?

[Jakku]

Hi!

I suddenly am able to set the best answer in some, but not all, threads.
Is this intended? Or am I some super l33t haxor and I don't even know it?

Thanks.

Yes after you answer 5 solutions you can do this. Use the privelege wisely though.

Can everyone else see these changes?

This happens once you get 5 solutions.

We have an issue with people signing up, posting a question, then leaving without selecting an answer. This is an attempt to give credit to those who answer those threads.

With great power comes great responsibility....

The rules are:

1. If the thread originator has chosen an answer you leave it alone, period.
2. If you come across an obviously abandoned thread (2 or more months) with no chosen answer you may choose one.
3. If you come across a thread with an answer that is VERY obviously wrong, or a better one exists, you may change it, unless the answer was chosen by the thread originator, in which case you leave it as is.
4. You do not choose an answer in an active thread unless you are the thread originator.

The moderator team is quite adept at spotting and dealing with abuse of the BA system, so be very careful with the power.
