Indicating fantastic questions and answers

April 4, 2006 2:33 AM

Idea: how about indicating fantastic questions and answers in the same way as best answers? [more inside]

This could be done in-thread either with a highlight, like best answers, or a different coloured tick or something. A fantastic question/answer tick on the front page of AskMe would be good too.

This would make it much easier to find great stuff when scan-reading AskMe, both inside posts and on the front page. Moreover, it would not be time-sensitive, as the fantastic AskMe page is currently.

I much enjoy AskMe, and I never think to check the separate fantastic page (plus it makes me think too much) so I thought I’d float this idea. Sorry if this has been discussed already, I did try some searching. I also fear this idea may be obsolete when the bookmarking thing happens.

I like this idea, too. However, when I previously recommended ideas for bringing the better material forward, it was summarily shot down.
