Why can't merge Q and Answer thread posts? Please add support can merge post from same user posts.
This should be a feature. This add-on has it and I'm using it. I may switch if TH's addon adds this feature.

Can you try switching to sorting by date instead of votes and see if that resolves your issue?
Not currently, but it makes sense so we’ll get that added
Enhancements:
- Question and checkmark are now color coded to match with the status of the Q&A Forums
- Added Unanswered Threads and Latest Answering Users widgets
- Added User Statistics under the Members tab
- Added Statistics which can be viewed under Logs -> Statistics in the administrative panel
Glad to hear that you are enjoying the add-on! I'll go ahead and add this too our issue tracker as a future enhancement on our widgets! Thanks for your suggestion!Installed, and works nicely.
One feature request, if possible: In the widget for "answering users", it would be nice if those images, or the number, linked to the thread that was answered, rather than the member's profile page.
Outside of that, works great.
You are easily able to make each a Question and Answer Forum by navigating to Forums - > Nodes - > Click a Node -> Tick "This forum is a question and answer forum" option. You can also force all of the threads in that forum to follow the Q&A format by ticking the "Force threads created in this forum to use the Q&A format" option.Another question:
Is there a simple way to make all forums capable of question/answer?
Thank you for the kind suggestion as I'll note it down! Also, I'm guessing you separated your question and answer forum based categories? Just wondering as if you have the option ticked off known as Force threads created in this forum to use the Q&A format as that will make any thread they post in that forum follow the Q&A format.My forum is basically a mini stack overflow, this addon is a god send. Sadly my members are handicapped. I have a "question" sections which force all threads to use Q&A format but also have sections that are for regular and question threads. I have a suggestion:
A popup on thread creation instead of a check box that asks "Is this a Question/Help thread?" and they're forced to say yes or no. I have no seen a single person elect to check the checkbox in a section that allows voluntary question threads.
That is interesting indeed. You could force an answer and set a default on thread create. Same thing as a checkbox though if people dont want to answer it.My forum is basically a mini stack overflow, this addon is a god send. Sadly my members are handicapped.

Have you considered adding a notice to threads in the section with a bit of guidance of what to do if a question.Gonna rephrase this and make sure I'm explaining it well
"Force threads created in this forum to use the Q&A format" is working perfectly in the forum in which I only want question threads.
Other topics aren't large enough to warrant 2 sections, 1 for tutorials and 1 for question threads. In this case I just have 1 section, which allows question threads but they are not mandatory. Not a single user has selected the "question thread" checkbox in these sections because they do not see it. In this case, a popup on thread creation asking "Do you want to post a question and use the Question & Answer forum functionality to ensure you receive an answer?" instead of the checkbox would be sweet.
Most questions are asked by new members and honestly they're too dumb to know how to use a forum. Doesn't matter how many guides/tutorials/notices I make. I have to move threads and inline moderate question status like it's my job. I even wrote a query to check prefix id, check if it's the "help" thread id and force it to use question status. But the users aren't smart enough to even select the right prefix so that's not helping me either.
