>>>I would like to see the Force Message to be Marked as Solution opened up so any member can request a particular reply be forced as the solution to the original question. Right now, you can only do this if you are the originator of the reply.
>>
>>The approval of that goes to the admin. We already have too many that we have to filter because they do not represent solutions and because they have not been confirmed by the originator of the thread. So, if we allow that to all, we will have about 10 times the submissions and we just don't have the infrastructure to support all those verifications.

>What if you change link to "
Recomend Message to be Marked as Solution" for all members that are not author of the thread/message. Clicking on it will generate private message to the author of the thread asking him to mark message as solution if he/she think so.
This is interpreted as asking the author of the thread to mark. The author of a thread is not forced to mark a message. This is done on a contribution basis. There might be several reasons why an author doesn't mark. Also, the author might not even see the private message or may not even know what this is all about. This is why, bypassing the default, by forcing a message to be marked, should go in approval for admin. It's part of our tasks to maintain UT and to verify that the minimum criteria have been met as detailed in the document.
