GR team - Can you PLEASE remove the box where people can tick for answered??????

All the new people are ticking it when they have answered a post, even by pm !!

Thus, their thread gets no more help!

They do not know how it works !!

All the experienced people just amend their title to mark it as 'sorted'

This serves no purpose other than to confuse !

Instructions could be added under "Complete FAQ Listing" where it tells you how to add a post etc

BUT as members seem reluctant to read anything on this site I would not hold out any hope

Researching:
Think the picture says it all.

great suggestion, Dea!



Please remove it, GR



I spend a lot of time posting on threads telling people that they have mis-used the "tick", and to please remove it if they wanted help in finding the information.


Some people even use the "tick" as an indication that they have read a post ............. even one that asks "can we please have the date or place of birth" :-S
