Keep "answers" in forum thread in chronological order

Hi there,

When you mark a post as the answer in a forum thread, it bubbles up to the top. This often makes it difficult to see the right context as you can no longer see for which other post the answer was provided. I do like the idea of showing the answers at the top though so maybe they can be shown twice: first as the answers at the top, and then again as part of the entire thread?

Note: this applies to the forum here at the developers portal. but other sites using the module could also benefit from it. I don't know if it's just a template implementation issue or not and whether you can already do this on custom sites.

Thanks,

Imar

Hi Imar & Rune

The "Move answer to the top" was a feature request at some point. I don't like it either. The thread could just have a "This one has an answer" and a link to click to scroll to it.

Will look into it.

It may have been me requesting that;-) But my intent was to copy them, not move them.

I am fine with either solution; keeping them in order, changing the color of answers to green and a link at the top stating there are one or more answers sounds perfect.

I think Nicolai's suggestion with a "this thread has an answer" link, sounds very nice.
