hm... i checked the code, points are being awarded regardless of who sets them or whether they get switched from one person to another. filing a bug for someone to fix.

I'm not sure if there's a case where a question is closed / resolved, and then can be re-opened?

For the case of the best answer changing, I think it's fine as we have it - both people get awarded the best answer (points / trophy), but, when visiting the page, there's only one. I think it has to be this way, since we allow the best answer designation to change. I "think" we added some language somewhere (in the email or notification) that mentions that the best answer can change.

yes, frankly i dont think anyone's looked at Q&A code and made sure awarding best answers is always solidly doing the right thing. worth looking into. what do we want to do in the case you mentioned, neil? award points to new guy as well?

I think this happens when a question is automatically closed and given a best answer via most votes, and then the asker later comes and marks a different answer as best.

Stan, any other thoughts?

Hi Neil,

I was wondering if you could help me with this message I was sent. Is there any other information I should ask him for?

Thanks,

Its no big deal, but I just wanted to report that I'm not getting credit for all of the best answers. Sometimes I receive notification of being awarded a best answer, but then when I go back to look at the question it isn't showing my answer as the best. In some cases I have the most votes and it says the question is "resolved" but I go to the question and it shows it as open.

Just thought I'd pass this along. Thanks!
