[META] Why not add this simple feature to UA?
Just came across this popup in Stack overflow. It is a simple feature and Why not Unity Answers have it?

A pop up when i try to answer my own question, I dont think it is too hard, since UA already check if i am accepting my own answer! This should be fairly easy and would solve lot of comments stating don't post comments as answer from moderators!

Wish I could upvote this 100 times.
I suggest you email support@answerhub.com , I would be very interested to hear their reply =]
It seems [$$anonymous$$ETA] posts are only read and responded to by the users these days, double-diamond mods don't seem to reply/interact :

actually meta questions gets shaded by other posts ! the problem is the time we post the meta questions, if there are multiple moderators online, chances of this getting seen and being active is more, if not it just goes unanswered and hidden.
I wish there is a seperate tab for meta like active,newest and the like. ---> this worth another meta post again!
send a mail, let us see what they reply for it! thanks for the email, now i can spam with a lot like this :D
I agree with @alucardj. It doesn't seem that anyone at Unity is investing in UA. Send message has been broken for co$$anonymous$$g up on a year.
I agree this is a great idea. Eighty percent of the 'In Replay' answers in the moderation queue that I deal with are actually comments that I have to convert.
Here are a few other small ideas:
$$anonymous$$ake the 'Add New Comment' button more pro$$anonymous$$ent.
Change the checkmark to a vertical button with the word 'Accept'
Add the text 'Solution' to the back of the answer box...make it large and light gray. It would disappear when someone started to type.
@flamy - even if the improvement is only 20%, that may be 1000s of questions a year that moderators do not have to take the time to convert an answer to a comment.

Hi there folks - AnswerHub here. This is a nice idea and we'll look at adding this in a near future version. We love the feedback and activity from the moderators here and do monitor these threads ;)
Separately, the send message button should be working - the folks at unity got in touch with us last week and we fixed it. If I recall, it had been fixed once in the last year, then busted again - usually permissions issues :) Please let me know if its not fixed.
