I was going through some of my unresolved discussions the other night trying to get some of them cleaned up and mark best responses and i have alot that have been kicking around for a while with only one response. Is it wrong for me to mark that as best response should i leave it hoping for another post or is it ok to mark it for best response? Also when you start a discussion what would be the amount of time you would suggest to let it run before you do a best response one week two weeks is there a point that is too long or two short?

myself ( i know im a beginner) i wait for about 2 weeks to see if maybe someone digs up my topics and they find them interesting enough to comment on, and if they do then i pick the best out of those but if not and i only have one response to something then i usually pick that one to be the best.

I myself ahve no real set "pattern" to giving best response. When I see one that really stands out i award the BR. As far as the one response it all depends on how old it is. If it's 2 weeks or older I go aheads and award BR to that one lucky member. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I usually do not mark best response for at least 1 week- sometimes 2 weeks. I know a lot of times not everyone is on at the same time and I want to give other people a chance to answer the discussion. If after that time- I will select the best response- If I only have 1 response- Wow it is easy then. I give it to that person. If there a lot of great responses I usually pick the first one- Just depends- sometimes a response will jump right out at me and offers a lot of great advice- this may happen after 1 day- I might pick it right away- Your call!

I would mark it a best response after several days if it was on topic. I have a few with no response that I can't resolve at all and I have one or two that I just can bring myself to call a good response. My rule of thumb on how long I wait, and this is just my own, is to choose a best response after four days of no response. I don't know that there is a magic number, but four was what I was comfortable with. I'll check out your discussions and see if there are any I can respond to. I know how it feels to have all those unresolved responses!

one way to resolve our discussions is by marking the best response in our posted topic. i usually give myself a time frame of 7 to 10 days before i give a check for the best response whether the topics have one or more responses. this is for allowing myself to get more responses as can be.

I also will give the best respond after 4 to 5 days.We must not concentrate at this particular point only.We must also send some pictures every day.You must reply high quality response,that is what important.

If my posts have been open for a week or more with still only 1 respose I choose that as the best. I usually wait to choose one after the post has been silent for 4 days or more.

I really do not have a set time frame before I mark best response....it depends upon the topic of the discussion..if it is something that is fairly immediate that I am asking questions/advice about....if so then I award best response fairly quickly as the situation has now past... If the discussion is more broad ranged then I want until I see no more interest in the topic... As with many others...I wish that there was a way to clear up the discussions tht have received no responses...that really annoys me...every time I go to my unresolved discussions...there sits that one discussion that nobody responded to.... Good luck with this issue, Kitkat.....have a blessed day!

Hi kitkat1, I usually closed most of my unresolved discussions after a week. I will mark best response even though it is the only response.
