Green check mark when ? answered
I notice that only older ?'s with the green check mark are archived.
Sometimes (even though I didn't ask the question) I'd like it to stay here for reference. Even though I check the 'helpful, yes' box - no check mark. Anything else I should do? I print out some, but I'd need a separate desk for all the wisdom here. Thanks dp |

I think it's too bad that the decision of whether or not a question is
archived depends on whether somebody is courteous enough to respond back with an acknowledgement. Lots of good answers never get those coveted green check marks -- whether they solved the original poster's problem or not.

MVPs are authorized to mark replies as the answer to a question (anyone can
mark them as helpful), but since most of us don't use the Web interface to read the NGs, most of us won't take the time to go in and do that. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for explaining how that works. I've often wondered. Several times I've
clicked the "helpful" button on an answer that never got a green check. Other times I've posted a reply that ended up saying "7 of 8 people found this helpful" but never got a green check and never increased the number of right answers I was credited with. (OK, so I have a number fixation. I've been stuck at 45 for over a month and I'm striving to get over 50.) Fred "Suzanne S.

I should have added that, aside from MVPs, the only person who can mark a
reply as being the answer to a question (as opposed to merely Helpful) is the person who asked the question. Sadly, as you'll have noticed, many people who ask questions never respond to the replies (even when they request additional information about the problem), often, I suspect because they can't find their way back or the link in their notification didn't work properly (there have apparently been a lot of problems with that). I imagine this is the reason MVPs were given the authority to mark answers--that users so rarely do. Sometimes they don't recognize that they've been given the answer; many will continue to dispute it even though we can be 100% confident that the answer given will solve the described problem. -- Suzanne S.
