Hi, Fred.
Congratulations! You now have another post rated "1 out of 1 people found
this post helpful." Only two more people need to log in and rate your post
as helpful before it will be marked in the Microsoft online community as a
"Helpful" post in green text. (Unless, of course, someone marks it as
"Unhelpful." Then you'll need soneone else to mark it as a helpful post to
counterbalance the unhelpful ones.) Each post just needs a 2/3 majority and
a minimum of three ratings to get the official "Helpful" marking in green
text, so that future searchers can filter for the "Helpful" posts in
Microsoft's database of UseNet answers.
I suppose it would be possible for Microsoft to keep statistical
records of this data as well.
They do. The plan is to help future searchers find the best answers
quickly, because each post can be rated with the online community's
feedback. Each poster who answers 50 questions or more will get a bronze
medal icon next to his name to indicate to others how many correct answers
he's given. Each poster with 100 correct answers or more will get a silver
medal icon next to his name, and each poster with 500 correct answers or
more will get a gold medal icon next to his name, and the MVP's will get a
blue MVP medal icon next to his name to give searchers an idea of the
quality of answers that the individual gives.
HTH.
Gunny
