Another bug?

[HEXiT]

best answer seems to have gone...
i can no longer find it on the uk forum.

 

[HEXiT]

it only seems to be in certain sections though.
windows 7 is 1 of them.
and this 1

Maybe it's a sign that they're working on the new platform which, hopefully, takes away all the problems of the UK site and unifies us all under one banner, speaking a curious form of English called A-m-e-r-i-c-a-n. Bet they wish they'd nevert left our Empire in the first place.

 

[HEXiT]

well at least to them my spelling is correct... an English dictionary would be nice because although similar American isn' the same. they tend to spell phonetically. while we English spell pretentiously...

Best answer won't be there if the thread wasn't made a Question. If it's a Poll or Discussion thread there is no logical reason for a "best answer".

 

[jpishgar]

Like Randomizer said, if the thread is a Discussion, it won't have a Select Best Answer option to it.

I've always wondered why the default post type is discussion. Surely more users want to create a question thread?

Which of these threads do you want to provide a best answer to and we'll switch it to a question thread for you? All your other threads are question threads and should be showing the best answer button for each post.

But those that don't want to ask questions, but who forget to change the type, would receive emails asking them to select a best answer repeatedly until they do. The least "intrusive" option should be the default IMO.
