A PM Notifying You That You Had Best Answer

[wontonweekly]

That makes total sense! Thank you for the information!

That's okay! Thanks for your opinion.

I'm sure they appreciate your help, i know i've needed help many times and been really grateful. Rep is really good too, or WI bucks because you can send your appreciation without clogging up an inbox .

On the other hand it may lead to more people expanding their explanation because they would get that little extra burst of self pride of having their answer chosen and know it without the hassle of checking back.

If you really would like someone to know that YOU chose their answer you could PM them yourself .

I understand what you're trying to say. Thanks for your opinion!

I post in the Somebody Help! forum a lot because I like to help people. As you may know, when you post an answer for a thread that's in that forum, the person who started the thread can choose a post that somebody left as the best answer.

I thought it would be kind of nice to get an automatic PM letting us know that our post got chosen for best answer and what thread it was on. It would be pretty nice because I have to constantly keep checking if any of my answers got chosen as the best answer. If any of them did, I always PM the person who started the thread and thank them for choosing my answer as the best one.

This is just an idea, and I understand if this feature can't become a part of Webkinz Insider.

I would be all for it if you could opt to turn it on or off... sometimes I am having a PM convo with someone and I wouldn't want to be bothered by those PMs in cases like that. Otherwise, I'm with you!

I just think you can check the thread just as easily as you can check your mail.

Also that is very nice of you to take the time to say thank you for your answer being chosen. How nice is that!

I thought it would be nice to get an automatic PM because I post on so many threads in that forum a day that it would be difficult to keep checking every thread.

Thank you!

I meant that it would be nice to have a PM letting you know that your answer got chosen as best answer.

That's true. Thanks for posting!

If you help a lot of people, your PM Box could become crammed.

I would just like to know so I could thank them for choosing mine. Thanks for posting!

We don't really need a feature for that, what I would do is to just check back on that thread. You can subscribe to each thread you answer to, if you'd like. That would probably be easier. What I mean is that this feature isn't necessary, ya know?

It's nice of you to take the time and PM the member who chooses your answer as the best, though.

I would just like to know if I had best answer so I could thank them for choosing mine. I was thinking about subscribing to every thread that I post on, but I post on a lot in that forum, so it would be difficult to keep checking. I get what you mean.

Thank you!

Thank you! I think it would be kind of a nice feature, so that way I can thank the people. Thanks for posting!

I get what you're trying to say. Thank you for sharing!

It's not quite a big deal to me. But that's because I don't post there often unles I need help but usually just pm/vm my friend or a Wi staff member.

This might be nice but you'd have a clogged inbox.

That would be kind of nice! I also agree. I think it would be kind of a nice feature!

Yah, sounds good! It would also be nice if sumon' needed a pet name, and you posted, they chose urs, and then someon' sent u a PM or VM taht they chose ur name idea.......... I posted on a thread pet name, and i think they chose mine, but i'm still not sure

[kittycats10]

I think somebody suggested this before...but I still love the idea!!

[twilightcrz]

It sounds like a cool idea, but I don't think it's the best answer to our "problem" (sorry, had to use the corny pun. xD). Tarsky's idea was cool, and it would be nice to let you know you helped, but do you need to know you were best answer? No offense but that sounds kinda cocky to me if you want the PM, because you should feel good just about helping, not about getting any notifacation of it. It's like saving someone who's near death or in a fire. Do you want a medal or honor when you get out, or the great feeling that you saved a life?

Oops, I'm sorry if somebody suggested this before! I didn't see any threads on this. Thanks for posting!

I do feel good about helping people, but what I meant by getting a PM was so I could thank the person for choosing my answer as the best. I always thank people when they choose my answer. Thanks for your opinion.
