Answer Markings revisited

[Jacob Bugge]

I must say that this profound use of the Helpful Answer button has softened me a little bittle towards Answer Markings:

Clearly, the answer in question, in itself quite uncalled for in its loitering silliness, proved to give the only help possible: comic relief.

Note the subtlety: no follow up comments.

Thanks for posting that. I needed a bit of a laugh.

I feel, about as you do. The answer markings have provided me with some humor. Back when the previous Jive was introduced, and Correct Answer, etc. was added. there was a question in the PS forum, IIRC.

An answer was offered, and the OP came back with something like, "Hm-m, that does not sound right to me. I would like a second opinion." Someone added a Reply to the effect of. "OK, second opinion - you're ugly and your mother dresses you funny." That got marked as the Correct Answer...

PS - been using AI since about version 2.0 (though very lightly compared to PS), but I do not recall an AutoSave function, but could well have just missed it, and cannot ever recall a crash, so maybe I just never looked for it. AutoSave is a hot-topic in the PS forum, and resurfaces about every quarter.

There is no Correct Answer listed that I can see.  Just one Helpful Answer, which is what I assume you're referring-to.

And nothing in that thread brought me close to laughter, I'm sad to say.  Guess I'm having a bad day. 

I did get the irony of your post.   Yes, you eased someone's frustration just a bit - I'd call that more Helpful than a lot of posts around here.

Jacob posted an anecdote which was marked helpful. Obviously it was helpful relieving the stress of the situation. Another way of saying "thanks for that!"...
