0:29
one so slick went ahead and figured out a way that we could um create a system
0:34
that's a little bit like Yahoo answers but more focused on obviously technology
0:39
so that the top answer can be can be
0:42
answered and can be marked and then that whole thing can be very very searchable
0:47
for other people who are looking for the same answer so for example if you check
0:51
out this uh sticky post up here at the top that I created where I say this
0:56
thread is meant to demonstrate how the mark solved feature works you can see
0:59
that I do is I go down to Slick post
1:03
telling me this is an example of solved I can mark this as solved Market as the
1:08
best answer and what that'll do forever is it'll highlight that one within your
1:12
thread and put a shortcut to it at the top of the thread with a link so that
1:16
the whole post can be viewed simply by clicking it this is a great way to help
