YesHi, for the following feature to work, the forum which the thread resides must be enabled to allow mark as best answer?
- It's now possible to allow the best answer functionality based on a thread's prefix.

Understand what you mean. The problem for you is that Xenforo is designed to work with one prefix. Adding a second is likely not a trivial matter.Lets say I have a forum that's called devices, in that forum I have four prefixes: Desktop, laptop, pad, mobile. Most of the threads are discussions but once in a while a user would like to have an answer to a question.
If I understand correctly I then today have to provide a prefix Question for them to choose, if I have it set up that way. What I want is for them to be able to use the laptop prefix and then also ad a second prefix Question to the thread.
As I understand it, today you could do that when a thread is answered, make it have the original prefix "laptop" and then also "Answered". I hope you now understand what I mean.
The reason I even suggested what I suggested is that @Lior. already have fixed a second/double prefix for answered threads.Understand what you mean. The problem for you is that Xenforo is designed to work with one prefix. Adding a second is likely not a trivial matter.
Really? Sorry, I didn't realise that.The reason I even suggested what I suggested is that @Lior. already have fixed a second/double prefix for answered threads.
I don’t know if this is easy to fix but I think it would be in line with the double answered prefix.
Have the same problem. It is the text in bestAnswerIndicator if I am not misstaken, can't find it.Where/how do I edit the "best answer" when it's in the first message as a quote? can't find it in phrases.
Thank you for helping me trying to explain better what I suggested.Really? Sorry, I didn't realise that.
Sorry about that, will phrase it in the next version.Yeah, it worked the second time. Where/how do I edit the "best answer" when it's in the first message as a quote? can't find it in phrases.
Maybe this addon is a solution? http://xenmods.com/products/multi-prefix.5/The reason I even suggested what I suggested is that @Lior. already have fixed a second/double prefix for answered threads.

Can you share (a slightly larger) capture of your Best Answer options page?I must have done something wrong because, although I have this installed, I can't figure out how to get a "Best Answer" button to pop up. I have it checked to allow marking posts in the forum as the best answer, but I don't see that option when I try to use it.
No, the Best Answers options page, please. Home -> Options -> Mark Post As Best AnswerCertainly.

Features and improvements:
- Added a new layout for displaying the best answer. A link to the best answer is displayed under the first post. In addition, if the best answer is selected based on voting, a configurable number of alternative answers can be displayed. Thanks to Stuart Wright for financing this.

Is there a live demo site to see the latest version of the add on working ?
Anyone that can share their site with the latest version installed to see it working ?
It's live on www.avforums.com in the core forums, but it only went live today, so it will take a while for people to start using it.Anyone ?
Good job the old settings is carried
- The per-forum setting that controls whether best answer functionality is enabled has been removed, and can now be controlled through the addon's options page using a multi-select list.
This is it right? Rebuild Thread InformationNote: You should rebuild your threads cache if you'd like to display alternative answers in threads that were posted before the upgrade.
