We got some local color happening.
Is this a bug or by design? Gray frame around the most recent comment on recent activity. Instead of the usual gray box. This is what it looks like in Unprofessional Mode.
You say you want a resolution, well...
Having the "AskMe Tick" go up upon resolution rather than Best Answer? [more inside]
Lighter box good! Darker box bad!
When and why did AskMe best answer highlighting change from light to dark? I fear change, and the effect is more jarring than I expected it to be. If this isn't something we can toggle, anyone have a Greasemonkey script?
Do Best Answers affect AskMe life?
Does the presence of a marked Best Answer in an AskMe keep it alive shorter or longer? [more inside]
You are your own best answer?
I noticed that in this Ask Me thread, the original poster marked one of his responses as best answer.
Does this happen a lot and I've just never noticed it before? I'm not sure it's worth changing, just sorta ... odd.
My green direct line to YouTube / Google.
My recent AskMe question on YouTube / Google Chrome not playing nice got me talking directly with a "YouTube engineer here who works on, among other things, latency/developing world connections and HTML5." [more inside]
Green checkmark showing that a question has best answers by anyone in
Tiny pony request. On the AskMe front page, a question has a green checkmark next to it if any of the answers has been marked "best answer." If you look at your own history of AskMe coments, there's a green checkmark next to any of your AskMe answers that was marked "best answer." In that same history of your AskMe comments, why not have a green checkmark next to the title of any question in which there have been "best answers" by anyone else? [more inside]
Etiquette on marking your in-thread AskMe response as Best Answer
Etiquette on AskMe OP's marking their own in-thread response as Best Answer? [more inside]
"Oh, glad to know I was helpful"
AskMe pony request: How about an option to receive an email notification when an answer you gave in AskMe has been marked best answer? Or, if notifications aren't a good idea for some reason, how about some way to quickly check (via your profile) which of your answers have been marked best answer? [more inside]
If EVERYONE is special, then NO ONE is special.
Best Answers on AskMe: If you mark ALL of them as "best," it's the same as marking NONE of them as "best!" [more inside]
Check for Ticks: Direct linking to best answers
When an AskMe question has a comment marked as a best answer, a little tick/check appears next to the post on the front page. What do people think about making that tick a link to the first best answer comment?
Ajax the Best Answers
Is it possible to make [Best Answer] work like favorites? You know, all AJAX-y? [more inside]
Or do I have to be in the cabal?
Apologies if this was discussed elsewhere, but... why is there a best answer marked in an anonymous thread...?
A little? AskMe front page tweak
My little pony: how much work would be required to turn the "contains answers marked as best" checkmark on the front page of AskMe into a link to the first best answer?
Best Answers, STAT(s)!
Any chance of a Best Answer pony? [more inside]
Check on this one.
I see a check mark by this question on the AskMe front page, but no best answer marked inside. [more inside]
how r u?
New askMe guideline: Must have a theoretical "Best Answer".
Best answer not highlighted?
This question is listed as having a best answer, but no answer is highlighted.
These are a few of my favorited things...
Just curious about something... when someone answers an AskMe question and it gets marked as one of the best answers, shouldn't that also count for them as being favorited by someone? Or... no?
Great answers are great!
Which AskMefi questions have elicited great responses or answers - the sort that just perfectly answer the question, or those where what seems like a long shot is serendipitously answered by the perfect person? Looking at the "metafilterhistory" tag, I found this and this, but are there others?
This question has a "best answer" checkmark, but no best answer inside.

Anonymous Ask Metafilter Archive
"Why does eating in a restaurant make me crap my pants?" and 994 other anonymous gems from the Anonymous Ask Metafilter archive. As AskMe readies for it's 1000th anonymous question, the community is hereby polled: How has the feature worked out for the community? Do you ever wonder how some threads were resolved? And at the risk of seeming too voyeuristic, has anyone ever thought about writing fiction based on the scenario in an anonymous AskMe question?
is there a way to show if MY comment was marked best answer?
On the "My Comments" page, is there a way to show if MY comment was marked best answer?
Better than best answer?
I'd like a way, beyond "best answer," to give feedback/kudos to users who offer exceptionally helpful AskMe answers. [more inside]
Previous and Next Pony
Pony: when browsing the archives of ask.me the navigation for pages says next page and previous page. Could it be changed to older posts and newer posts? Also the color of links in "best answers" is the same as the answer.
I just can't decide!
Being able to mark a best answer in AskMe is very useful. However, what are you supposed to do when you just can't decide which one is best?
Askme tag/best answer collision
In AskMetafilter, if the tags box extends into a highlighted "best answer" box, the two collide instead of readjusting for each other. This includes a text wrap-around. I demand perfection down to the pixel.
best answer outside, not inside
This Ask me thread has the "Best answer" checked on the main page, but nothing is showing up in the thread. Just thought I'd let you know.
Request for option to unmark "best answer" in Ask Metafilter
An ability to unmark "Best Answer", I have on several instances accidently clicked the link (it's such a big target). Even a confirmation page would stop this from occuring, I'm not alone right?
Checkmark, no best answer
This thread has a checkmark on the front page of AskMe, but no best answers marked inside. Opera on Mac OS 10.3.9.
I'm my own Best Answer
You can't flag your own replies to an AxeMe (suck it, haters) as a "Best Answer." This sucks in those rare events you did not get your question answered satisfactorily and you want to leave a resolution for posterity.
Posting limits?
so, are there differences between the posting limits (once per week) on ask.mefi and metafilter proper? In other words, once you've posted anywhere on the Mefi network, do you have to wait a week to post elsewhere, or is the posting limit unique to each area?
Also, it would be cool if "best answers" were tallied for each user, and posting frequency tied to it somehow. Or not. Please don't hurt me.

I did not mark this as best answer.
I did not mark this as best answer. I really, really doubt I did it accidently which is why I'm listing it as a bug. No offense, the answer isn't bad, but the best? I wish to wait.
Is there a reason why I can't mark my own answer as best in Ask MetaFilter?

Best answer undo
I inadvertently marked a best answer on my Askme thread. I would really like to be able to undo that. Possible?
Could the check mark in AskMeFi link directly to comment?
Could the little check mark in AskMeFi be coded to link directly to the pertaining comment?
Is using "best answer" on subjective questions appropriate?
The best answer feature used in this AskMeFi question seems a little disconcerting to me. For a question that's so subjective, is it really appropriate? I find it off putting.
Best Answers Arrive on the Scene
Another pony is roaming free. It's now possible to mark great answers to questions you've asked on Ask MeFi. Details and screenshot inside.
Two questions about AskMe
I'm going to combine two questions into one here since they're related:
1. When did "mark as best answer" show up in AskMe? Sometime in the last few hours, if I'm not mistaken. What is the effect of marking something as the best answer? (Apologies if I missed an announcement)
2. Does asking a question, and then having it deleted, still use up your AskMe quota?
