"Message marked as answered"
-
When upvoting answers in the forums, you get the message "You voted 5. Rating now 5 (votes: 3). Message marked as answered." What exactly does the last part mean? Well, I understand what it *means*, but what happens? The thread/message doesn't seem to get changed in any way (for example, adding a check mark next to the subject line to show it has been answered), so I'm just wondering what the point of the message is. Just out of curiosity.

It's not marked as answered - it's green because it's been voted a good answer by enough people.

Are we talking about the same thing here? :) I'm talking about the answers in the "regular" forums, not Q&A, and they don't seem to change color or anything, that's why I was wondering what actually happened.

Ah. Right :-O The forum "mark as answer" system is going to be removed. It was being used to provide lists of unanswered questions but wasn't being used consistently. It still marks questions as answered (and gives them a vote of 5) but is not being used as it was first designed.
