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

Second this... Right now I have a thread prefix setup that reads simply 'question'. It would be even cooler if a prefix could be the trigger to make it a 'question thread'.

Btw, this functionality + the option to designate a thread as a question is a feature of community server 2008.5.

Also, in CS 2008.5 the best answer is moved up under the first post and is marked as such (although they should actually move it and not duplicate it as it is messy when the best chosen answer is the next post). See this post as an example: http://dev.communityserver.com/forums/t/504289.aspx

Sorry about that. Haven't had much time to update these threads since the switch to ProvB. Not sure what you meant in regards to the avatar.
