One of the great features of the OVO Forum is the HUGE catalogue of questions and answers that have built up over several years, and we’re always open to more. :)

When you ask a question, it’s very likely that another member will reply fairly quickly, or sometimes lots of us might stop by. So, what can you do when you’ve found the perfect answer and want to say thanks?

Easy! Feel free to assign that comment as a Best Answer! And this comment is one I made earlier. 😉

You can do that using the toolbar below the comment, just like in this example.

Marking a Best Answer sets your question as solved, which lets other members know and helps others out who may have similar questions. As a bonus, the member who’s comment got marked is rewarded with a heap of forum points too. Score lots Best Answers and… Something good may happen…

If you accidentally marked the wrong comment, don’t panic! You won’t be able to change the assigned answer yourself, but you can ask @Tim_OVO or @Jess_OVO to assign a new answer on your behalf.

Even if the original problem isn’t solved, threads might be marked as solved when there’s an answer that helps either the original member who asked the question, or if an answer would be of benefit to the wider community.

Oh, and one other thing. Solved questions are never closed or locked, so you’re always welcome to keep the discussion going even after an answer is assigned. If you get lucky, you might score a new one.
