MyLot allows you to mark responses, to your discussions, as "best response". Do you consistently do this for your discussions? Have you found that this helps increase the draw to your discussions? I am new to MyLot and just wondering.

Hi bziebarth, I always give the best response mark to anyone I think should get it. This is an appreciation for their thought and help. Giving a best response can help you revive your discussion IF the recipient give a comment on this best response. Most of us would say thank you for the best response. Your discussion would be on top of your friends "friends started" tab and "my interest" tab. So more people can see your discussion and would probably give their respond. The best response recipient would also came again to your next discussion or respond to your old discussions. There is no harm to give someone a best response mark. So, why don't give it. Just take some time before give it to give others chance to response to your discussion. Happy mylotting and have a nice day.

I do like to be sure to give a best response to someone in my discussions. I dont know how many others do this. I also rate everyone.

I try my best to mark best responses the latest a week or two. I won't go longer than that, because I would want to mark a Br so that I could move on to the next topic discussion. As long as I have gotten my answers resolved more or less, I'll start to look for Brs..

Im so guilty because half of the time I forget all about it and usually it takes posts likes these to REMIND me to use it and I back in my discussions and sort through and mark them and sometimes I decide its not necessary and let leave be. Thanks!

I do give best response as it lets the user know that I did read their response and found it to be superor to other responses. If the discussion is ineresting enough it doesn't mater if there is a best response or not as people will respond ot it. I have myself. I don't really start all that many discussion, only when I have a question about something will I start a discussion, so I really don't have all that many best responses to give out. One thing we are to do though is wait at least a week before we give best response, and I have waited longer than that, to give other users a chance to responsd. I want to get all the responses I can get so I have a better variety of responses to pick the best one. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Yeah, yesterday my response was signed as best response. I got my first best response mark from the topic i replied. I think this mark is very interesting, to appreciate people who have responded to our topic. So the next day when we make a new topic will be many people who responded because they knew that their response is read and appreciated by the creator of the topic. But unfortunately there's many topic creator who forgot to mark the best response in his topic. So for the topic makers, let mark their their best response hahaha. :)

Yes, I use that feature. I think it's a good appreciation we can give to the responder for taking time to submit his/her contribution.
