How about a button like on Facebook, where you can 'Like' a person's reply to a question?

[NazNomad]

What would be the purpose?

We have ''mark as best answer'' which seemingly does nothing since it replaced the star-rating we used to have.

[B00]

I like to think "mark as best answer" dispenses a little elf from AB towers who scurries to your house and pops a tube of smarties through your letterbox.

Is that not so then?

[Scarlett]

Well exactly- mark best answer does appear to do nothing. I think it's quite nice to be able to see which answers have been appreciated by other readers, and how many times. Otherwise answering questions can be kind of a lonely business.

[NazNomad]

B00, did you get those smarties? ...

[Jan1957]

Think fluff has been kidnapping the elves when they leave AB Towers.

[China Doll]

I'm not sure I see much of a point to it and I probably wouldn't use it (except to be sarcastic), but then I don't like/use it much on facebook either. I don't see the benefit it gives to the site.

[B00]

No, but I just assumed that was because i'd never recieved a best answer thingy Nazzy for one of my well thought out time consuming replies :-(

[AB Editor]

Think we've spoke about this before. But yes.

In the end we'll have a "like/mark best answer" button which does both mark as best answer and publishes it to your FB wall. Depending on whether you're logged into FB and whether you've given us permission of course.

Well I've just clicked on 'Mark Best Answer' and it appears to do nothing that I can see. YouTube also has a system where you can click thumbs up or down.

No Smartie tube carrying elf is dispatched from AB towers then?

<sniff>

[jackthehat]

Have you ever seen a 'Smartie tube carrying elf' and sara3 on AB at the *same time* ?

Hmmmm...............?

[B00]

oh right, you said something about this yesterday Jack, and i didn't geddit, i still dont to be honest.

Are you trying to say sara is an elf?

(sorry if its some sort of joke, i really dont geddit, lol)

[jackthehat]

I believe that she is on the small side of 'short'..............

And she carries out informal elf-ing duties on my behalf. :o)

[B00]

oh right, im 5'1, she smaller than that?

and lol, sorry? informal elf-ing duties?

Really think Christmas is getting to me, as some things simply aren't computing lately, this being one of em- sorry!

[jackthehat]

She's a little slapdash in all honesty...........fancy sending me your CV ? :D

I've upped the wages to double-time as it's so close to Christmas.

[snags]

''im 5'1''

Really? I imagined you taller... that's only 3 inches off being classed as a dwarf:

[B00]
