Is there a way to change the default setting to ALL Responses?

I think only seeing those things that have been marked as 'Suggested Answers' is ludicrous. How many answers have you seen that are marked as 'Suggested' that aren't even close to being an answer. I think the default should be All Responses, with the option to restrict it to suggested answers.

Take a look at the graphic above. There was only 1 suggested answer, but plenty of information in those other 22 responses that can lead to the right answer. The 'suggested' answer, the only one displayed, was not the answer.

I think this is causing answers to be marked as 'suggested' even if they are just questions for the poster. What this is telling me, is that if you want your response to show up on the forum, you'd better mark it as suggested.

I'd like to know your opinion. Don't forget to mark each of your responses as 'Suggested Answers' so I don't have to click an extra button to see them.

Kind regards,

Leslie

RE: I want to see ALL responses as the default setting

I was trying to read the other posts - since the settings have not been change to 'all' yet - and when I selected the All Responses button, I got a blank white screen. What's up with that????

Soma, bless you my friend, but your post was not marked as a suggested answer so it seems I cannot access it. Boy, I will be delighted when this is changed.

Kind regards,

Leslie

Tim,

This is great :)!

I'm so happy that I've not been alone in the world trying to navigate through the new (thought very nice) interface. I'm looking forward to Mid-September. A win for all of us!

I've verified everyone's answer to this post! Let the points begin :) <snarky grin here>

Oops, I had to edit my post to mark it as a suggested answer, so you'd see it. I'll come back and verify it later. Ya' gotta' love it!

Kind regards,

Leslie

I thoroughly agree with all the sentiments expressed on this thread. In fact, I have reduced my participation in the forum recently because sometimes it seems like a race to see who can provide a 'suggested answer' most quickly, without requisite regard for accuracy. Or, answers are suggested referring to links to previously answered questions that may or may not be relevant. This activity leads to a reduction in quality of answers provided and increases the number of 'answers' a reader has to scroll through to find the truly valuable feedback.

Thanks for starting this thread Leslie!

Hi

I added this to the suggestion forum yesterday on the topic of the leader boards: community.dynamics.com/.../137420.aspx suggesting have a leader board that recognises suggested answers confirmed as the actual. This sort of stat should have more weighting than anything else.

Cheers

Leslie,

I had to reply to share this...

I was checking back on this thread just now and I was surprised that there were no more answers on it...until I hit <wait for it> "All Responses." Both Jonathan and Justin did not mark their answers as "Suggested Answers" even though they are the "definitive" answer. (ROFL!)

I will look into this guys because I agree it is kind of annoying to have to change it every time you open a post. I will keep you guys posted.
