Answers Forum
Ever wanted to enable the ability to specify a certain forum as an "answer" forum, where members can post questions and select the best answer given by the community? This is similar to yahoo answers, a very effective website where users can post questions and seek answers from registered users. Answering questions can get to be a mess, keep it organized and save yourself a bit of hassle when dealing with Q&A's. As a webmaster, you already have enough on your hands to have to worry about answering questions sometimes, and need an effective way to do this! Or maybe, you just want to let your community do it for you

Can you copy and paste the example of the url which is being generated for marking the answers, as well as the a link to the thread it's being generated for? Also, what version of php are you running?

very nice one mate! I like it!
Installed and nominated!

Works just sm00th on VB 3.7.3 ;-)

//Suggestion
- Would be nice to see a "Answered" also in the Threads-Overview, maybe next the "rating" on the left.
That way we can see which threads already have received a proper answer. ^^

I was thinking about it, but figured the only reason a member would have for doing that would be if my any chance he was able to get an answer from another source, at which point a link would probably be provided. However, i will consider the option of restricting this.

It would be interesting to give users the option to designate a thread as a question in any forum rather than setting any one particular forum as a Q&A forum. That way we could have regular threads in all of the forums, and those that are question-based could benefit from Q&A layout that this hack gives us.
