The current configuration is that ALL tech help areas show ONLY "Solved Answers" count. They do NOT show the posts. Areas which do NOT have a Mark Solved, show ONLY the post count. The do NOT show the Solved Answers count. This is not being inconsistent. If a area allows to mark answers, show the amount that is relevent to that area. If it doesnt, why show it? Makes no sense. This is getting to a Windows 7 vs Windows 8/8.1 debate. On 07/11/2013 at 14:22, Lord Method Man said: They changed it back? :/ Come on, guys. Must people complain about everything?No. Again, people do not read the entire thread is a problem WAY bigger than this. But sadly that cannot be solved.

Alas, staff have found a solution all parties involved can be happy with. Maybe in a few months, they'll be able to implement a system where you can trade post counts for such things as subscription access, friends, loaves of bread at the grocery store, or sexual favors.

I know you are joking, but since post count is pretty much pointless, this isn't actually a bad idea and it will stop Dushmany from teasing everyone. :laugh: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1185983-tech-issues-solved-added-in-tech-forums/page/18/#findComment-596084347 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Raze Subscriber² Posted November 7, 2013 Subscriber² Share Posted November 7, 2013 A big Thank You to Steven, Daniel, Redmak and the staff of Neowin for putting up with, and listening to, the feedback (at times very, very passionate) from members. These are the kinds of things that make Neowin such a great place to part of - a dynamic, forward moving community.

LimeMaster Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Sorry for being a pain again, but some topics don't show best answer or post count. Is this intentional?

Crisp Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I think the front page news article comments would be awesome if they had a voting system like reddit, where you can up best comments to the top.

That works with thousands of Reddit users, but unfortunately with a small group of logged in members it will just mean dumb comments get voted to the top.

Steven P. Administrators Posted November 7, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted November 7, 2013 What might work is a "Unhelpful? (N) " link where staff are vetoed (can't be voted down). It's an idea, that way dumb comments can be pushed down to the bottom.

Louisifer Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Down vote does seem like the better option, less likely to be abused and cant be used as a substitute for liking the post and therefore less likely to appear near the top :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1185983-tech-issues-solved-added-in-tech-forums/page/18/#findComment-596084673 Share on other sites More sharing options...

riahc3 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Hello, My personal opinion is to not vote. I believe the best answers feature is more than enough. The problem is that in certain places is doesnt really make sense...For example, the Gamers section. There is only ONE thread that has a "Solved" possibility: https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1185305-battlefield-4-how-to-engage-helicopter/ out of all current threads in the first page.
