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

Many thanks!!

Question; I would like to put an icon-image before unanswered and answered. I tried in admin-> Phrase Manager, with <img scr="link-to-image"> but i only see the icon (don't know the name) as i need a plugin for my browser to see the image.

How can i fix it please?

That should have done the trick. What exactly happened?

Looks great I will give it a try the only 2 key things I see missing are the ability to have categories of answers and the ability to rate answers like 1-10 instead of just "best " answer.

You can always use prefixes if you don't want to use different forums
