Can I tell which user selected the best answer?

Question

I have several users set up as "Experts". Is it possible to see which one chose the best answer for a question? I didn't spot anything in the database.

Answer 1

No, I'm afraid this isn't currently stored in the database. Still, if you want to do something when the answer is selected, you can modify function qa_question_set_selchildid(...) in qa-app-post-update.php.

How do the points work then? If  user selects their own answer as the best how do you stop them getting the points?

The userid of the question's author is compared against the userid of the answer's author, and the points aren't awarded if they match. This works to prevent the question writer selecting their own answer as the best, but doesn't address the issue of experts selecting their answer.
