Add an answered flag for each hint #16

Open wilsonww opened 9 years ago

Maybe this should be tiered, such as "answered" and "professionally answered" so we know when an authority has provided an answer.

Good suggestion. I was messing around--I copied the functionality they use for Support and pasted it into "Answered" functionality. Have it in answered-16 branch, still a work in progress.

Currently marking something "answered" is open to the public (similar to how any # of people can support a hint, currently any # of people can mark a hint as answered) so maybe this is another crowdsourcing play? ;)

Marking "answered" is also per-hint, not per-comment, so this isn't quite upvoting a comment as a good answer. I think we can either use this or restrict this to authenticated power users only (or as you suggested, create another "professionally answered" button and have that only markable by power users.)

At this point I don't quite know how restricting access works, so I'll take a look at that next.
