Mark askee answers June 4, 2008 8:38 AM Subscribe
Mark askee answers. (Meaning, highlight answers posted by the user who asked the question in askmefi).
Probably visually similar to Best Answers, or indented in some way.
Especially useful in computers or human relations category questions where the OP might be required to provide additional information to assist people answering, and also if they came to the solution on their own, or want to leave a follow up [if this is not discouraged?].
Be gentle. This is my first pony request...

In the thread inigo2 linked, matt says he likes the idea but that we may find it confusing. I don't agree. In fact, I'm more confused that this hasn't been implemented yet. What up, Matt?

I think we need some sort of search bar -- maybe several, even -- so posters can check and see if they're posting something that's been posted before.

This idea struck me a few weeks ago when I posted my first AskMe question, and people were simply ignoring my additional responses and giving repetitive answers. It was such a good idea, I knew someone had to have already thought of it- and indeed, they had.
But I don't see why the server-side idea of this hasn't been implemented. Just a light border around an OP's post would be simple and easy, right?
You can stomp and shout Grease Monkey all you want (I in fact have that very script installed*), but not everyone is savvy enough or even cares to install all that.
Then there's the argument of "one should read the whole thread before responding". Threads can become so long that to read them would require more than a couple of quarters off the clock to get even the gist of it. I feel if the OP's responses were highlighted (and said responses are assumed to include relevant information such as quotes of answerers that the OP is addressing), then the thread would be a hundred times more easy to parse, and could lead to additional insight that may have been squashed by the seemingly chaotic back-and-forth that runs down five or six page-downs.
*and it messes with my damned text weight too much!

Precisely. MeFi is a community, and I think this feature would be a valuable tool to it. The only way to ensure that everyone's in the same boat is to make it server-side.

For reals. I'm not completely dumb, and I'm sure installing greasemonkey scripts is totally easy, but even so, I skew pretty computer-dumb compared to most of the readers here and haven't quite figured it out yet.
From where I stand, "there's a greasemonkey script for that" kind of sounds like "duh, go get a saw and make your own blocks!"

I am fairly computer dumb, or maybe I'm selling myself short. But I find I can figure stuff out while stumbling around, even though I would fail miserably at explaining to someone else how to do the same thing. All that said, I use FF at home and am a total dork for greasemonkey and all its goodness. I use it, love it, rely on it.
But then I come to work and have to use IE. Reading metafilter without Mefi Navigator feels kind of like typing with one hand. I would love a server-side solution.

Ok, I just made a subtle change live. The original question asker's followup answers will all have a small bar on the left side of their comment. It's not an indent, but out in the margin, so you can scroll down the page pretty fast to spot them. It's not over the top like a full background color change and I think it hits the mark for a subtle reminder.

It's too subtle Matt. Can't you just highlight the OP's user name in a subtle off-green for their own thread instead? That way as you're scrolling down, any off-green user name will automatically visually flag you.

We originally tried vertical-line-with-indent. And that really looked like someone being quoted. The hanging bar outside with still-flush margins is not really a common quoting convention, though, so hopefully it won't cause near as much confusion.

I liked the line better than the outdent. Especially in a case where the OP also posts the first comment, since that comment is indented from the question, but there are no other comments, so it's not outdented from anything. The vertical line consistently shows the OP comments without needing anything to compare it to.

Is the mark changing? Up-thread it's mentioned as an indent, an outdent (which I saw earlier), and a bar (which I see now).
My preference is with the outdent. It gives the same visual stlye to all the things that are posted by the OP, rather than some weird green bar. I can't comment on the indent, because I haven't seen that.

Did you ever get your car, middleclasstool?
I hope to update that thread tomorrow with a "yes." We had to sacrifice a few mpg -- buying a hybrid is a costly and months-long process in which most dealers try to sell you over MSRP, but even at MSRP the price difference with higher financing charges was getting to be way more than we were able to pay, so we've backed away from hybrids and found a small crossover we like that has just enough room to fit our convertible baby seat facing backwards. Plus it's red, so you know, that cancels out the receding hairline and love handles.
We almost signed the papers today, but financing through the car company required we sign away our right to sue if the car blows our baby up, so we're reworking the financing through a third party and will try again tomorrow. The dealer is really working with us on this, so I'm guardedly optimistic.

small bug: it doesn't appear in comment previews.
This might be one of those "Oh that would be a large db hit" things, but it seems like this is what the feature was implemented for: You're about to post a big long spiel asking for more information, right after the OP has already posted an update, and you miss it because there's no bar.
