Forums Users want to rate replies, Contributors want their replies rated
 

We replaced our old forum tool with vBulletin about 10 months ago. We upgraded to v4.

One feature our users really want is to mark one or more replies as being the best answer, or containing valuable information.

a. Users want this so that they can find good information if they don't have time to read the conversation.

b. Contributors would get one point added to their profile if their reply is marked.

This will help us build our user-base by recognizing those contributors who the community believes provide the best information.
