Questions about Unity Answers
- How do I reward an answerer with more kudos if he goes above and beyond the call of duty in the comments/discussions that follow an answer? At this point in time I'd like throw kudos to Eric5h5 and Statement. But how?
- How do I rank/rate a comment? If it doesn't exist, why not? It should.
- How do I know when more comments have been made on a thread/question? There's seemingly no notification for this, but should be, since as soon as an answer's been posted, the communication between questioner and answerer happens here... do I have to manually check all the time?
- Why does it take 24 hours for unityAnswers to notify me of responses to my questions? And why does it not know I've already read those responses.
- How do I search the Unanswered questions? If there's a subject I know a bit about in Unity, and I have time, I want to be able to search unanswered questions to find something I might be able to help with. Won't happen often, but might... other times I might want to find those suffering the same fate.
I'm applying point 1 right now on you! :) Points 3, 4 and 5 are a big hassle on "answers". This system is actually made by StackExchange Inc (SEI) and it's already on version 2.0, while our beloved answers stayed behind in 1.0 for almost 1 year now. And even over the SEI network, e-mail notification still sucks balls. Here's for more info on notifications and searching questions you can answer.
this is funny. "While I'm still trying various methods, I like how this app sounds like a direct answer and still is completely unrelated to my question. :)"
1) You can upvote the comments, but that won't increase reputation. Alternatively you could be nice and look through their posts for an answer or question which deserves an upvote
2) Theres a little up arrow icon to the left of the comment when hovering over it, it'll increase the comment rating
3) If you're subscribed to the question (You posted the question or an answer), you'll get notifications at the top of your screen - the little envelope icon will turn blue. You can also click that icon to check the comments you've had in the past day
4) Not sure about this one, I'd have thought it'd be similar to number 3 though, including knowing that you've already read them. If not, possibly a bug?
5) Theres an Unanswered tab a few tabs right of the logo up at the top of the screen on every page, that'll take you to a list of unanswered questions
On number 3: The name of your account in the top of the screen has a little mail icon on it. Refresh the page or just click your name (last works better in my experience) will turn it blue. Simply clicking the icon itself (which does not always update) directly links you to "new responses" at which point you can see it instantly
Hey $$anonymous$$ike. Yes, found the Unanswered tab, but I'm trying to search within the unanswered questions. Can't seem to do it. Which doesn't mean it can't be done, just that I don't know how.
$$anonymous$$ike, question 3: and it's answer, is there no way of tracking things I'm not subscribed to but have commented on?
Oops, missed the second comment. Don't think that's possible at all, the search is far too basic. For that last comment, you should be able to mark the question as a favourite (the star thing under the rep doodah in the question)
