welcome to the new and improved Linus techtips Forum if you guys haven't

00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:10.040
checked it out yet it's Linus tips.com and this is a new feature announcement

00:00:07.279 --> 00:00:13.719
so slick frankensteined this together however it is that he does the magical

00:00:11.559 --> 00:00:18.760
things that he does but in addition to how crazy active and awesome the forum's

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

00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:27.279
features and functionality already so there's build logs there's General

00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:31.880
discussion all these like crazy active sections but troubleshooting is a new

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

00:00:34.920 --> 00:00:42.920
that's a little bit like Yahoo answers but more focused on obviously technology

00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:45.120
so that the top answer can be can be

00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:49.360
answered and can be marked and then that whole thing can be very very searchable

00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:53.840
for other people who are looking for the same answer so for example if you check

00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.559
out this uh sticky post up here at the top that I created where I say this

00:00:56.120 --> 00:01:03.199
thread is meant to demonstrate how the mark solved feature works you can see

00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:05.920
that I do is I go down to Slick post

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

00:01:08.360 --> 00:01:15.200
best answer and what that'll do forever is it'll highlight that one within your

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

00:01:16.880 --> 00:01:23.159
