Claudio,

Your understanding of the green icon is the same, as mine.

I wonder if there is perhaps a time limit, where an "auto assumption" might kick in, and mark an older thread Answered?

Also, a MOD could have marked that, but I would hope that they would do so, ONLY after reading, and determining that there IS a Correct Answer in the Replies.

In the past, there was a way to tag a thread as answered without marking a particular post as the answer, but that feature has not made it back yet.

Pierre,

I was unaware that the capability for a MOD marking a thread as "Answered," was missing.

Thank you for updating me on that.

I understood post #9 by Pierre in the same way as did Claudio, although I should prefer to hope that Bill had it right, and that it will remain that way.

However, in any case, the plot thickens even more either way.

Unless, of course, the Correct Answer marking of the old mistery thread (partially shown in this mistery thread) actually happened back then but had been caught in one of the rifts in the time space continuum. Others have been reported in this forum.

Thank you for the clarification, Pierre, although I found your original statement clear already, expressing what Claudio and I thought, unfortunately.

But as I said, the plot thickens: the thread in question has been marked Answered without any Correct Answer, quite recently, after the skin updates.

Yes, it does thicken. Maybe a "ghost in the machine?" Or, it could be something that no one has thought of yet, like some sort of "timing" thing? I do not think that John C, Terri, or others, have had the time to poke around older threads, marking them, as they see fit, but still, who knows?

I have found a couple of older posts, that also sport the green "Answered" icon, with no "Correct Answer" Reply indicated, but those were threads that I had not been following, and some that I had never even seen, so cannot comment on the timing of the "award" of the green icon. Maybe from way-back, or maybe the day that I noticed them.

Since Claudio is familiar with the thread that he cited, I think that might be the only example, that has some "history" behind it. Still do not know what it means, or how it happened though.
