How to accept more than one answer as solution?

Community

Is there a way to accept multiple answers as solutions because at times more than one suggestion comes in handy and accepting only one response as a solution to the entire post is unfair to the remaining people who put in their times and helped in solving the challenge?

Only one may receive a solution tick.

Perhaps tick the most interesting?
Perhaps tick someone with few solutions, to encourage them to continue with their forum help?

There are also “Like this post” hearts that can be used for all the posts that helped solve problems. This acknowledgement doesn’t always get a great deal of use.

Hello @jmk,

Thank you for replying. This is a great forum, and when more than one user helps me out I want to thank all of them equally. Looking for the most interesting answer and selecting it as a solution is not gratitude. You were the first one to reply to my initial query.

It was just an honest wish. I hope the moderators and developers can think of some sort of a workaround. Pretty sure I am not the first who had this thought.

Hi @ankit_kumar

This forum is an off-the-shelf product by a group called “Discourse”. The Kicad developers have nothing to do with this forum. The moderators are able to make a few minor changes. The forum admin is able to make more minor changes, but most major changes need to be made by the Discourse developers.

I placed several links to various parts of the Discourse site in the New Member Guide FAQ. There are many search filters and topics, in those links, to help you navigate that site, find out how it works, and make suggestions.

Cheers,

This Discourse software does keep track of and show the number of “solved” topics in a user’s profile, but the main reason for marking a post as the solution is for users who are searching this forum to find old questions similar to their own, and their answers.

So when deciding which post to mark as the solution, you should not judge it by who helped you most, but the answer that fits best to the original questsion in the topic line and opening post.
