Question, what does Best Answer mean?

I am not sure if I have seen this on the Community Board but I noticed it on the Beauty board. It has BEST ANSWER right under the REPLY button and then it will sometimes say SOLVED BEST ANSWER right under someones reply. I am guessing people can hit that button if they like the answer but I am not entirely sure. Anyone know for sure? TIA!

I believe it's on Beauty and Fashion, and the OP decides the "best answer"..............

Re: Question, what does Best Answer mean?

I never use it, as it seems like once you do, it essentially ends the thread to further responses, since you've already chosen one post as the 'best' answer.

 

Personally, once a post is marked with 'best' answer, I don't bother to respond to it, since the OP seems to have the answer they wanted/needed.

 

I would prefer to still receive responses, since another 'better' answer could come along.

@KingstonsMom Well stated and my opinion exactly. Smiley Happy  And if I could hit the Best Answer button, I would do it on your response. LOL!!!!

Re: Question, what does Best Answer mean?

One of the problems with "Best Answer" is that it's right below "Reply."  I'm always so afraid that I'll hit Best Answer instead of Reply.  I don't like that feature at all.

Re: Question, what does Best Answer mean?

Ok, thank you so much ladies. I think I may have hit best answer on a thread I started but I in no way meant I didn't want more answers and I think I tried to hit for more than one. I wasn't sure what it meant exactly. Thank you so much, now I feel really stupid as I didn't want to offend any one who took the time to respond as I enjoyed all the responses. Thanks again!
