Ranking an answer just got easier

Here’s what you’ll find in this latest update of Yedda:

  • Easier answer ranking

    When you’re looking at an answer in a question blog, you can let everyone know what you think of it by ranking its helpfulness – thumbs up for helpful, and thumbs down when you think that the answer isn’t that helpful.

    We just made the ranking action a lot easier – clicking the thumbs up (or down) icons responds immediately, without reloading the page you’re looking at. Cool, isn’t it? :)

  • Question status indicators

    At any point in time, a question may be in one of following states:

    • Still open, without any answers (very rare on Yedda of course :) )
    • Still open, with answers – at least one answer was already posted to the question blog, but the person who asked the question did not mark it as resolved yet (using the “I found the answer” button)
    • Resolved – the person who asked the question found the answer

    We made it easier to recognize each one of these states by providing each one of them with its own look and feel:

    • Still open, without any answers:

    • Still open, with answers: no special indication
    • Resolved:

    Do you find these helpful?

  • Bug fix: moving to a new page in the list

    Well, yeah. We had a bug. In certain situations in the Explore page, attempting to move to the next page of the results list did not work. Now it does!
