Does that little check in the box in front of the thread title mean that there has been an accepted solution?
This thread: https://community.ebay.com/t5/The-Soapbox/Care-to-Share-Our-Resolutions/td-p/27930787/jump-to/first-...
has the little check in front of it, but no solution indicated within the thread...
Just curious.

Yes it does but that does not mean that the accepted solution is correct. It only means that the original poster (OP) has posted that he thinks that this is the correct solution.

While I do appreciate the larger and easier to see green check mark for an accepted solution, I have to agree with others who find that bumping the accepted post to the first post isn't great, especially if there is a quote involved in the post...and if it happens to be an off topic thread, then it really does screw up the flow...in a word game, for instance, lol
Question, can the OP mark more than one post as an accepted solution? If no, can you please think about making this an option as so many times there really is more than one correct answer, not to mention the fact that so many new posters think it is so cool to mark their own wise cracking posts as the solution. alan@ebay

Keeps gettin' bettuh, don't it?
Now the thread titles are shaded on the list of threads, but the 'accepted' one within the thread is still out of order and not shaded. If they can shade that, surely they can shade a post within a thread and keep the posts in order.
No, I don't know who Shirley is, but maybe she can accomplish this.

The following dropped into the Stylish addon in Firefox or into a usercontent.css file in the Firefox profile will do the trick:
@-moz-document url-prefix('https://community.ebay.com/'){ body#lia-body.ForumTopicPage
div.MessageView.lia-list-row-thread-solved.lia-accepted-solution
{background-color:#a0ffa0 !important;} }

WE shouldn't have to change anything on our systems to make the board appear to work correctly.
We don't have to do that on competent boards.

That isn't really a functionality issue. Just because you want it doesn't mean its lack is a failing.
I though do like it, and as a result of this thread now have that functionality by adding it to my other 3200 lines of Stylish code.
(it should work in Seamonkey too - I did a cursory look and appears Seamonkey utilizes an optional usercontent.css file same as FF)

I look at it as providing the solution up front, eliminating trying to find it.
OP asks question, solution is then shown.
Not really out of context as it is chosen as the solution to the OP, just out of sequence, but making it more relevant.
Just some thoughts.

Alan, makes sense and looks great!
Well done!

Of course we cannot exercise control over what post is selected as the solution, that is up to the OP. OP may or may not choose wisely, some chose their own question as the solution, possibly because they want to rack up solutions, LOL!
But if it works as intended, it makes sense. There is no way to force the OP to choose the "right" solution, solution may or may not be right, and that may be in the eyes of the beholder and a matter of opinion. That is just something posters have to concede.

hee hee, quoting myself!
I answered my own question by checking a thread where I was the OP and had accepted a solution and the option to select another solution is gone...so only one accepted solution per thread, which is a shame as more often than not there is more than one solution to a question/problem...can you see if we can have more than one solution, please? I hate hurting someone's feelings by not being able to give them a green solution accepted check mark when they deserve it!
...and one more thing that I have noticed ~ when I am reading a thread and the "accepted solution" comes in a post after I have stopped reading and then I go back to read the new posts after the accepted solution has been selected, I am thrown back to the beginning of the thread and not where I left off reading...not good!

Alan has said that the OP can choose to unmark a solution and then mark another one as the solution in situations such as yours.
thank you for referring me to this thread but as it was just on solutions, and Alan updated it when the new features came out, it was buried at the tail end, hence another reason I started the new thread.

Hi, castle...yes I am aware that the OP can undo an accepted solution and select a different one, but that is not what I was asking about. There are many times that more than one solution is acceptable or more pertinent information is added in another post that should also be checked as an acceptable solution, imo ~ just wondering if this is a possibility or not...
