Hi Tracy,
Really, I think this is the only reason the points system currently exists. It does make it easier to find answers, but more folks need to mark them for that to really work. Of course, often times the original poster marks the answer that is really not the best one (and sometimes it not even correct!)
>Scrolling through he results I will check those messages that have points assigned FIRST and only read the others if the messages with points do not solve my problem. It is quite a time saver! I wish more UT users would assign points to the message that resolves an issue for that reason alone.
