Suggestion for showing accepted answers
-
I am not sure whether this has already been suggested. In user profile page we can see the number of Answers the user has posted but there is no way of knowing the number of answers accepted as solution. An idea could be to show the total number of "answers accepted as solutions" in the profile page. Using this I can look at my profile page and see that if number of accepted answers are less, I need to improve the quality of my answers.
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream. Discover.

Shouldn't you strive to provide the highest quality answers, regardless of them being accepted or not? You can look at your answers and see if they have been accepted (green check), there just isn't an accepted answer count on the page. I'm not sure how knowing the number would help. I think watching your points for downvotes is a better way.

Totally agreed. But it wouldn't harm to show this count on the profile page. Just some extra information one might use in some way.

Other than as a vanity count, what purpose does it serve? Why not have a count of answers that are downvoted, or answers that haven't been accepted? This is all extra information that you might use in some way.

M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
