00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:10,040
checked it out yet it's Linus tips.com and this is a new feature announcement

3
00:00:07,279 --> 00:00:13,719
so slick frankensteined this together however it is that he does the magical

4
00:00:11,559 --> 00:00:18,760
things that he does but in addition to how crazy active and awesome the forum's

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:23,680
been in the last few days since we went from V bulletin to IPS we are adding new

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:27,279
features and functionality already so there's build logs there's General

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:31,880
discussion all these like crazy active sections but troubleshooting is a new

8
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:37,280
one so slick went ahead and figured out a way that we could um create a system

9
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:42,920
that's a little bit like Yahoo answers but more focused on obviously technology

10
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:45,120
so that the top answer can be can be

11
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:49,360
answered and can be marked and then that whole thing can be very very searchable

12
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:53,840
for other people who are looking for the same answer so for example if you check

13
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:57,559

14
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:03,199
thread is meant to demonstrate how the mark solved feature works you can see

15
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:05,920
that I do is I go down to Slick post

16
00:01:03,199 --> 00:01:10,799
telling me this is an example of solved I can mark this as solved Market as the

17
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:15,200
best answer and what that'll do forever is it'll highlight that one within your

18
00:01:12,479 --> 00:01:19,080
thread and put a shortcut to it at the top of the thread with a link so that

19
