Attention: Marking a Thread a Question Problem

former_member374 — Wed, 25 Aug 2004 05:56:03 GMT

Hi Forum users,

If you post a question, post an additional post to that question and then edit that answer, the thread will go back to not being a question

If that happens to you, please post a link to that question to this thread, so I can go in and set it back to being a question and points can be awarded.

Hope to have this solved by Tuesday.

Sorry for the inconvenience, Mark.

P.S. I posted this under a test user before, thought better to have that to my name.

Hi SDN Members,

The problem is solved. Threads don't switch their question status anymore.

There was a request to give users more freedom, what we enabled today is that you can change your post even when someone has posted to your thread already. That way, if one of your questions switched the status to non-question, you can go in there and set the record straight and reward points.

Please use it, Mark.

Mark:

This is not related your post...But I think it's something weird and funny...Even when I have read this post a lot of times, the icon for Updated content since your last visit keeps on...So every time I update the forums I think there are new topics...But it's still your post...

I'm using Portable Firefox...with automated deletion of history, cookies and related stuff...So it's not a browser issue...

Greetings,

Blag.

Ok...Just noticed that as soon as I posted a reply to your message the icon went off... LOL

Well I had the same issue too. It previously happened with another thread too. And then out of the blue everything was OK.

Hi Blag,

I have the same issue with IE 7.0. And it is only with this thread and it just begun this week. So hopefully the issue is gone now after posting this reply.

It's not Bill's fault this time...

Explanation: For a brief moment there was a "no-brainer" posted to the thread (which is 3,5 years old btw.) and this was rejected, which made it invisible.

As "invisible" posts cannot be read in the "visible" thread, the "not yet completely re(a)d" dot remains.

Ironically, posting an "asdf" comment or even a "link-farm" or "copy&paste" of SAPHelp is however sufficient to assume that the whole thread (including the question) has been thoroughly read... ))

Cheers,

Julius
