Best answer Fail!

[Squitty]

Ed your lovely new 'best answer' has failed.

when the post has answers removed - if one of them was the best answer then it is still there.

Actually, it's human failure, I meant to press the "edit question" button, but hit the "ban question button". This makes all responses inactive. I reactivated but hadn't go around to sorting the individual answers out :)
.
But yes, it'll be interesting when something "bad" is marked as best. I'll look into the options for dealing with this. Thanks

[Squitty]

you're HUMAN! - I never knew.

[bibblebub]

ed hasn't passed the Turing test yet

[AB Editor]

I think I've got my provisional?

[ummmm]

Test it out then.

Squitty mark an answer as best answer...and then Ed can remove the answer to see what happens.

Slow down Ed.....I know you have a full licence and would hate to see you loose it. Good Chauffeurs are not easily come by.

Keep on driving the AB cautiously. :-)

Ron, Judge not the Ab Editor, or the passing of the "Best Answer" position may pass us all by. :-)

[AB Editor]

Yep, it hangs around once something is banned. As I said, we may make some changes regarding this.

[ummmm]

Ohhhh....the devils will come out :-)

Looks as if something has gone wrong with the steering because the vehicle appears to have hit an obstacle.

I can't see the 'best answer' in the body of the thread and assume that that is the one which has been removed.

Ron.

[vivandorron]

Ooops... The entry 'Answer removed' has now itself been removed in this thread and a reinstatement has been made of that which was and now is.

I am getting confused by what is happening and feel sure that my comments are now as confusing as the way 'Best Answer' works.

Ron.

[AB Editor]

I've got new powers to mess about with this stuff now. All sorted.

Cheers for pointing the issue out.

Surely you can have no new powers being all powerful to start with...

[bibblebub]

you'll be messing with our minds next

[AB Editor]

"Surely you can have no new powers being all powerful to start with..."

Ah, so you mean that, in the normal fashion of most religion and religious books we should claim "It was always thus, yet it had not been revealed next"

"you'll be messing with our minds next"

Given the chance I would!

[rowanwitch]

Dangerous places the minds of the AB faithful you could venture in and get lost..

[ummmm]

Venture in and come out demented.
