    I think that was always there and everyone ignores it because who is the ASKER's that are picking anyway? This post was edited by WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH at February 16, 2018 10:08 AM MST

  • I noticed the developers on the site a few days ago working on things. I believe they got this feature up and running last night. It has not always been there like someone else stated.

    Someone else remembers this feature.   It was up before.  It made no sense before.  There was a time when you were not here.  Before.  I think it was around the time when Suzie was here and Wey was around.  I may be wrong, but I am almost positive because I remember complaining about it and how it made no sense.

    yes, AS I SAID, IT WAS.


    IT WAS NOT CALLED ASKER'S PICK WHICH I SAID.  BUT OF COURSE, YOU DON'T READ.  GREAT MONITOR MATERIAL.

    Shar, JA mentioned adding it a while back.  It's new.  Like you, who cares?  Maybe someone does.  I still miss being able to give people up AND DOWN points.  If we've no way to dislike something, the liking is pretty meaningless.  Skipping the question doesn't have the same effect; it actually has no effect.    My opinion.

    Okay, Thrifty.   I am thinking about something very similar then.  There was a favorite something almost just like that.  I am not that goofy in the head.

    No, I was here long before a lot of people and it did not stay long.  It was not called Asker's Pick.  But it was the same idea.  That is all I was saying and JA just confirmed it.  YES.  There was such a thing, it was not set up like this.  It was picked by the people who ran this joint.  They would pick the best answer and it was posted up in the top corner.  I am not crazy.

    They had something but it wasn't at the end of the question for people to choose from.   It was just SELECTED by god knows who and it would say Asker's Pick or something just like that on the front page.   I know I saw this for months.

    Okay.   We can do this.   Remember when they had something in the corner at the top, either the left or the right top, they used to have birthdays, etc.  I swear I remember an Asker's Pick selected by the staff.   I did not dream this one up.

  • Answerbag had it, but the Mug never did. We used to run a selected question of the week, a blog of the week and something else, but we never had an askers pick.

    We did have questions and answers selected by the staff for a while, but that fell by the wayside around the time we inherited orphans from other sites. It wasn't called Asker's Pick, but the concept you remember is correct.

    There's never been anything like that on the Mug.






    Name calling?   I only do it when it is warranted and that is why it is always amazingly award-worthy.
    It is one of my best gifts.   And then there are ALL the others I possess,  like telling people off.  There is no one better. 

    But you would already know that.

    Take a look at what you wrote and HOW YOU INSISTED I could not be right. 

    YOU WERE WRONG AGAIN. 

    Just like you are wrong about what you accused me of.    If I were to call a name it would be along the lines of slanderous, malicious liar.



    But you would already know that.

  • I told you pretty much the same thing JA did. That we used to highlight a question, blog and something else once a week.  I want to thank you for all the laughs this post has given me. :) You are more precious than you realize.
