I have noticed that if I vote "Good answer" in a programming forum, then a question is marked as "answered". I do not agree with this behaviour. In my opinion, a person who asked a question should be the only one who is allowed to say that his/her question is answered. I think the world wouldn't burn if some of people won't do that.

you are right of course.
people can indicate they like a reply (a numeric vote would be fine for that, it once existed but got removed to "make things easier");
people other than the OP can consider the matter closed (that would require all parts of the original post being answered satisfactorily) but that is not very relevant; the OP and only the OP is entitled to declare a thread closed (which he should be able to do even before all has been answered satisfactorily when he lost his interest (no longer relevant, or solved in a different way).
If I could choose, everyone could vote 1 through 5, and the OP would have an "enough, thanks" button which would mark the original post and stop further notifications towards him for that thread.

True. But a good percentage of people just don't bother visiting the forum back and updating its status when the solution suggested befits the problem.
To workaround this shortcoming and also to ensure that the forum post serves as a valuable kb for posterity, it would be better that we have this facility extended for others too. Or if you really feel that there is an over-abuse of this feature, then the forum developer should consider having an algorithm which can gather the number of positive votes and after gathering suitable weight, it can promote the solution as an accepted answer.

Something like quoted text of Google Mail in the first reply of every message should be able to address this menace.

Every time I try to submit an article, it says:
"There was a problem creating your article."
Very descriptive, can't seem to find a way around this. Any help?

Sorry about that. It was a bad stored proecdure, hence the unenlightened message. Should be good now.

Hi,
I personally think there should be a forum for DNN issues here as well. Although DotNetNuke's website has it's forum but it wouldn't be bad at all to have a forum here as well. What do you say?
Regards,

I think it would be best if DotNetNuke issues were discussed either on the DNN site or on its Catalog entry[^]

I believe the entry to backroom (the classic Soapbox with the forum identifier of Two Six Zero Five) is currently held low and we would need to enter it through CTRL key presses from respective locations.
I just observed that if an user is able to locate a member who has posted an entry in Backroom, from his profile, he can stand to win an entry to the Backroom. Wouldn't this be like sneaking into the Backroom or do you want to allow it that way?

It might not be a significant one but just thought of sharing out on seeing that since current Soapbox is kind of restricted to 'hot aggressive' topics only right?
If again, some casual user strolls in inadvertantly and requests for 'How to show a messagebox after clicking the start button in Windows', there would be hilarious threads right?

Just quickly observed a delimiter change whilst posting a message. The normal delimiter happens to be a dot normally however only between Bookmark and Edit it is a pipe. Is the pipe (only delimiter in the series) delimiter intentional or an inadvertant typo?

Previously the two trailing options used to be right-aligned but now, at least for me all options appear in a sequence, one-after-another.

Not sure if this has been asked or discussed earlier.
Whilst doing some search in the messageboard topics, I felt it acutely that search should have a feature of avoiding search of the text/phrase within the sig. Sometimes, if a particular quote is eye-catchy, it is being used by us in our sig. And the current CP search engine seems to be encompassing sig text too in the search and in the event of the particular phrase being the candidate of both sig and the normal message the search results are really getting cluttered.
At least like in Google search, unique search results should be displayed first and then an option to display 'repeat search results' wherein results from those including sig can be displayed.

Thanks Chris. It should be really a great value-added feature and a significant enhancement to the search engine.

For the love of God, when you implement this feature, give us a check box: "Include signatures in search".
