I recently posted a question (German to English on the term "messing") and received two helpful answers. However, I cannot award KudoZ points because where the answer box ashould be is a big fat ad. There simply is no box for selecting a preferred answer or awarding points. Meanwhile I get computer generated messages asking me to pick the preferred answer, and the answerers doubtless regard me as a selfish jerk. This needs to be fixed.

Hi Thomas Feb 10, 2007

I had a similar problem a while ago - the buttons were missing to grade the answer. I submitted a support ticket and the nice support staff had fixed it in an instant.

Best,

Nicole

Sincere thanks but we need a fix Feb 10, 2007

Hello again Feb 10, 2007

In the menu bar to the very right you will find "Support". Click on this one and a window will open "Need help?". Simply type in: "Can't close KudoZ question" or similar and answer any additional question that you might be asked. A staff member will get back to you in no time.

I know, it's embarrassing to be reminded over and over but this seems to be a bug on the site and it's not your fault.

Best,

PS. Until this bug is fixed you can also click on "Add Note" and say thanks in advance to all the colleagues who helped you.

Ads Feb 10, 2007

I saw a thread the other day about ads being displayed - is it anything to do with this perhaps?

Hi Thomas Feb 11, 2007

The problem certainly needs to be fixed. Please submit a support request using the 'support' button. Thus the site staff will be aware of the problem. Discussing problems in the forums is quite useful sometimes but not in the cases when technical support of the site programmers is needed.
