Marking best Response

I noticed that it seems when people post on a topic only via "add a comment" and not "respond to discussion", they arent given the opportunity to be marked best response. Did you notice that? There's no option next to their name if they only reply via add a comment. So if its really the case, if you really want to comment on someone's response, you can but also add your own response via "Respond to this discussion" button. i just noticed this because i wanted to click on someone because he made a good respond to my discussion but i cant since there was nowhere for me to click. Hope this helps. And if it isnt true, i want to know why its how it is in my discussions:P

Thank you for posting this information. There are so many features to learn on myLot, so it helps us all that you documented this for us. On top of that, you present a very good tip about how we can be better users of the "reply" versus "comment" features.

i agree with you on this.. you point out a really important thing which we dont notice oftenly. giving response by 'add a comment' really lose once opportunity to get best response and even + response. next time i'll also constious while posting responses. thanks again for pointing out this.

i also dont mean you dont have to comment anymore because you wont have a chance for a best response. Just making sure evryone is aware of it. Thanks!

I suggested that the 'mark as best response' should be placed beside the responders username, before this method of choosing was an option, so that we didn't mistakenly choose the wrong number. I'm not sure how long you've been a member but we used to choose best response from a drop-down menu of numbers.... I was hoping they'd place the 'mark as best response' beside every response and comment : ( I think the idea of commenting is for when someone has given the response you 'would have' and instead of writing the same response or something so closely similiar, we are supposed to agree or second it by posting a comment instead. In that case, the responder should get the credit.

i saw what you meant. I came across one of your discussions about you complaining in a comment how difficult it was to choose a best response by a respond number. Im just a month old and i guess mylot have certainly changed for the better gradually.

Really I didn't notice that. It can happen but I don't think so much. I understand the problem, you cannot vote it as the best response but how many of these did you receive? I riceived just few so never thought about that.

its not really so much of a problem but maybe there are other people who are not aware of it and post their answers through add a comment instead.

Yes, I also have noticed this. Though we can rate the comender with a "+", but we can't give them best response. Mylot should add this Best response button with the comment also. That will be a good option to have.
