Question

What's going on with these multiple 'Best Answer' notifications.

Just now:

Notifications of 2 different posts marked as ‘Best Answer’ for the same question at, essentially, the same time.

 

Also had similar earlier this morning:

This time five ‘Best’ answers!

 

What’s going on?!

 

@nbsown and ​@Rafo were you, perhaps, trying to mark multiple post all as ‘Best Answer’ ?

Or did you just change your minds ?

Sorry, I wanted to mark several posts as "best answer" but then I realized that I can only mark one.

Thanks for the feedback.

Can you suggest how it might be made clearer that there can be only one ‘Best’ answer ?

 

@nbsown - was it the same for you ?

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

If a best answer already exists, popup “Do you want to switch the Best Answer to this post? Only one post can be marked as Best Answer.” Confirm / Cancel.
