a) The link is community.invisionpower.com, which is the software that this forum runs off of.  If you follow the top-level domain it redirects you to invisioncommunity.com. By saying the link is suspicious, you are saying that the software that runs this forum is suspicious, so I'd advise you delete your account and request for all personal data to be removed.

b) What do you mean by 'it can be suspicious anyways'? It literally redirects to a 'We could not locate the item you are trying to view' error, with no threat of malware, etc.

This thread is meant to demonstrate how the "Mark Solved" feature works in this sub-forum. The original poster may flag any post within the responses as the best answer by clicking "Mark Solved" and it will float to the top for anyone who views the thread in the future.

 

I'm not really sure how this works. Is there anyone that can help me (hopefully Slick)

I gotta be honest - Im Quite ADHD. (Colloquial and Diagnosed)
Point being, I dont even remember to [Like] [Share] or [Subscribe] to 'Youtube' stuff either.
Its not an inherent laziness - Its either Forgetting, or busy'ness (leading to forgetting)
= The best system is a [Deadline:Revisit]
- in which after making a maximum amount of posts, One must revisit with an X,Y,Z selection

A.) [Solved: By which post],
B.) [Unsolved: (By the users opinion.)
(Maybe it was solved, but they dont comprehend it and litigating that would be a nightmare)] and
C.) [Unsure if this was resolved]...
- like an honest version of the worst case former.
- Or its still underway.

and if you archive a thread, i recommend it be moved to an [Ongoing] and not just [Locked] Cause if you make it automatic, you never know when something is just "Really in Depth"

anyways thats my opinion.

thusss...resuming;

 

This question is SOLVED right?

*smh* I've lost count already of how many people I've seen mark their own post as the solution when it was someone else that figured it out. As they say, you can't fix stupid.

It is a shame that posters are able to mark their own answers as the best answer and "SOLVED" therefore gaming the system and upping their Rep.... Sad......

This. In just a couple days I've had it happen like three times. I'm glad their problems are solved, and I'm not the type to really care about likes, etc, but it's frustrating to spend time, sometimes a fairly significant amount, helping someone only to have them say "thanks, that worked" and mark their post as the solution. Not only is that just a pretty dumb thing to do, but it's basically spitting in the face of the person that went out of their way to help, and the lack of gratitude it shows makes me not want to keep helping people. That and the number of people that could have saved themselves and others a ton of time by simply spending five seconds on Google or who you have to ask two or three times for them to give you an answer on something that should have been included in the OP. There really needs to be a template for new topics in the troubleshooting subforum.
