There are lots of threads on the forum that say '0 Answers' yet people have replied to them. I believe it is caused by people using 'Add comment' instead of 'Add an answer'.
Why is this a problem?
- When you filter posts by 'Unanswered' it returns a lot of threads where the issue has actually been solved.
- People who are posting replies using 'Add comment' can't be upvoted or get the points for 'Best Answer'.
I understand there are situations where 'add comment' is more appropriate than 'add answer', however it seems lots of people don't realise there is a difference. Removing the ability to add comments to the first post should fix the problems above.
Hope this makes sense. Let me know what you think :)
