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

do you using vbulletin 3.6.x?

i have same problem before, i am using vbulletin 3.6.8 and now the problem had been fixed just only need change some code, just pm Gio~Logist


to remove pm feature, in the premium producst, search for pm code and remove it (be carefull and make backup first), then reupload it again in admincp --> product manager

One feature I saw mentioned before that would be a good add on for the next version is:
PM the thread starter after say 3 days with no more posts.
So if they post on a monday, and get lots of answers, but come friday there are no more responses, maybe they get a message saying "User, your question TITLE has some replies which might help you. Please take a chance to re read the thread and see if it has been answered. If it has, be sure to show your gratitude by clicking on the post that answered your problem."

Just an example, but you get the idea.

i have this mod installed on 2 forums, on one, it shows Answered/Unanswered prefix on Forumdisplay before the title of the thread, but on the 2nd forum, it does not. i have checked the admin settings and i have selected "yes" for "Show Question Status on Forumdisplay?". it shows the copywriter info on the footer but its not showing the prefix. im running the same version of vb on both sites but the one that doesn't show the prefix has more mods than the one that does. maybe a mod is interfering with it. so, how can i manually make it work?

How can I removed the ( and ) around "Mark as Best Answer" ?

Also, I want to move it to the bottom of the postpit template, how can I change to use "$template_hook[postbit_controls] " instead of "$template_hook[postbit_messagearea_start]"

Thanks!

Yeah, that's what I did by editing the "phrase" for that text and replacing it with img code. However I still have these darn parentheses around the button. lol

Also to add, $template_hook[postbit_controls] is what the "Nominate best thread of the week/month" mod uses as a hook for it's Nominate button so it would be best for the location to be consistent. THANKS!!

Hey,

Great mod. I've installed the premium version to my site. However, I really need to allow all of my users to mark best answers, or at least allow more usergroups than the administrators and authors. Is there anything I can change to get this functionality working again? (I read an earlier post in this thread that suggested it had been purposely removed)

Thanks!
