Selected Answer

This is a shot in the dark I guess (you could have a Shot in the Dark prefix for this forum), but could we have a "Chosen Answer" option on the programming forum. In fact it would probably work on a lot of the tech forums.

It would work like stackoverflow or severfault, the poster of a question gets to select which answer they went with, that post would then be flagged as the selected answer.

It would be really cool.

Marking/tagging posts is not a feature that vBulletin was ever designed for.

I'd love to, but it would require major surgery.

It would also be useful for in-thread warnings on busy forums among other things.

Talisein wrote me a lart script a while back I use it for my standard PI warning, would something like that help evil phil?

Not for this, its more so a user who posts a question and highlight the answer they went with in the end.

That being said, the lart script would be a handy utility overall. So to answer your question: maybe.
