2 x "helpful" is not enough

Thanks for clarifying that; I could say I was having a 'duh' moment or that I'm obviously dense for not getting that, but I'd rather blame it on a language thing.. 😉

I just wish it was something other than stars. (Pepperonis instead?) I've always found that so kindergarten/second grade.

Is German your native tongue? Er war nicht hilfreich, er wollte nur sterne.

I'll take money 🙂 just kidding....

Yes..... (and your German is excellent, but don't forget to capitalize the first letter of nouns - Sterne).

Edit: and why doesn't this system allow me to underline just the "S"? Tried that and after it was published, it looked like this: Sterne.

Gut gemacht, Miriam! In Zukunft nur nicht vergessen Substantive groß zu schreiben.

Right, I'm getting rusty. Haven't really spoken it for years, I had a Kindermädachen who couldn't speak English, so I had to learn German.

That's how I picked up Italian....

And I learned French because my parents spoke it together so the children wouldn't understand, which of course was a wonderful way to make us learn it.

d'accord!

Hi Barbara!

"...underline just the "S"? Tried that and after it was published, it looked like this: Sterne."
Use HTML formatting.

<u>S</u>terne = Sterne

However I still believe this is a better system once posters are prompted to award stars for correct answers.

Which, unfortunately, is a violation of the ToU and thus we're in a Catch-22 situation.

In any case, I'll be filling out one of those feedback forms.

And you'll learn the definition of "futility". The "Catch-22" situation has been reported to Apple Feedback and mentioned here for several years now and nothing has been done to address the situation.

The prompting should come from Discussions - not from a poster. It should be something a bit more visible than the boilerplate at the bottom of the emails. Perhaps something in the email that says "here is a response to your question, please award points if this is helpful or answers your question" and it should be in bold and in the body of the email.

Thank you, Ali; I've never dabbled in HTML formatting - although this one is simple enough, I might even remember it!
