Query regarding marking solution

[jcblum]

To follow up on this a bit more since it was raised in an FAQ discussion thread…

@Yarnabrina

My question is whether this is an update to allow for the fact in many cases, there can be more than one solutions, or this is just a bug for this particular thread.

I believe it's a bug for that topic. The Solved plugin which is providing the solution-marking ability is supposed to allow only a single solution to be marked.

@aosmith

I actually got 5 notifications from that thread that one of my posts was marked as the solution and wasn't sure what was going on.

The person who started the topic can change their choice as many times as they want. Marking a different reply as the solution un-marks the previously chosen reply. The notifications go out whenever a solution is marked, so if the OP tried marking more than one, you'll get more than one notification. Discourse can be rather chatty with notifications .

Yeah, this is my first time using the community and like aosmith mentioned he gave answers to multiple questions so I tried to click them all.
