We are using .Lior's Mark Post as Best Answer system on AVForums and it's not working.
There are some features of that addon which I think are important, which I'm not sure that this addon does:

I also think the system would benefit from displaying unanswered questions to people somehow, to encourage them to help.
There are some features of that addon which I think are important, which I'm not sure that this addon does:
- Activate the best answer system for specific threads by using a specific prefix. 'Question' in our case. E.g. the threads in this forum: Which TV Should I Buy?. The Best Answer system does not work on any threads unless they have that prefix.
- Display the best answer(s) (which link to the posts) under the first post. E.g. Answered - SONY BRAVIA KD55X8509C or SAMSUNG UE55JU7000
I think the Best Answer system on AVForums is not working because
- the Best Answer button for voting is virtually invisible among the other buttons
- members are not motivated to vote for the best answer
- there is nothing prompting the original poster to come back to his thread and pick the best answer
- there has been at least one reply
- he has not already voted for the best answer
- a certain number of days have passed (e.g. 7 days since the first reply was posted)
I also think the system would benefit from displaying unanswered questions to people somehow, to encourage them to help.
