Best answer on tapatalk

Is anybody else having an issue using the like / best answer system on tapatalk? Most times I try to like a post it comes up as best answer. Only after I have chosen the post as best answer does the heart icon come up so I can then select like /thanks. Every now and then it works properly and selects "like" on the first try, but not very often and I don't do anything different when it does work. Anyone experiencing this? If you select this post as best answer then I'll just take that as a yes ;)

No problems on my Nokia Windows phone. But then I only have the option to like and thank. But they are separate buttons.

I have a Sony Xperia and I only have a thumbs up icon. Sometimes that comes up as like, mostly as best answer. Then it changes to a heart icon.

Huh. Yeah. Mines a little different. I tap the post and hit the more ... Button on the pop up menu. And I get

|web view...like...thanks...report|.



Sorry I wasnt much help.

On my iPhone I was able to "Like" your post. Thank is another button. (Odd) I also have a more button but that goes into selections that only moderators have.

Thanks Don and Doug, I think I have it sorted out. The icon at the top of the screen that I used to use to "like" posts before the "best answer" thing came about seems to now be set to best answer. In the drop down menu the first option is "like" and I'm guessing, the threads where there is no best answer option the icon then defaults to "like". Similarly once I select a post as a best answer, there is no longer that option available and the icon defaults back to "like" (and changes from a thumbs up to a heart). Simple... at least it used to be.

I just updated the software on the site, and I believe it's now working the way it's supposed to.

hrm, actually, there doesn't seem to be a way to unmark a best answer once it's chosen and a like is made. In the app it's a thumbs up. The heart is a like. Ideally I should be able to set the like as default and make the best answer the secondary option. I'll report both issues on tapatalk.
