Hello Ed,
Here is a simple question, where to edit a setting in Group Policy for a 2008 r2 server. I reply with the path (for server 2008r2). Then the user said he can't find the GPO setting because he has a 2003 Domain controllers, what can he do. Then Martin reponds to edit the local policy of the 2008 r2 (correct). But considering that I provided the path to that setting I think I should get at least a Helpful vote...

Threads that some user create without knowledge or even doesn't see that are Discussions but the real type of the content is a Question, fix in that case? Moderators can change type of this threads? I see a lot there in the forums that i usually frequent.

Yes, thread type can be changed from Discussion to Question or the other way around. Moderators can change the thread type as appropriate.

My point is that are many threads like this on C# General, C# Language forum. Users make a mistakes create threads as a Discussion get your answer, but the reply will *die* without any Mark as Answer, because this is not a Question. Send this links here, for any moderator of those forums change it is proper?>> Threads that some user create without knowledge or even doesn't see that are Discussions but the real type of the content is a Question, fix in that case?

That's a valid point Norkk. I am in agreement with your views.
>> Send this links here, for any moderator of those forums change it is proper?
Not sure how effective that will be ? I don't think, moderators from every forum comes here (this forum) and visit this thread.
A possible workaround which I think would be to bump such threads and ask OP to change the thread type to question [most of the times, that would be an unfruitful effort as OP never bothers to reply/change the abandoned thread] or if a moderator is around during that time, he/she might change the thread type and propose/mark answers.Anyone else have thoughts on this ?

I see. That option to start a new discussion about the threads created as Discussion that should be a Question sounds fine for me. I will give a try. I think that if those threads have the real type, and got some reply as answer, will give points/medals to a lot of people that make answers and theses threads keep forgotten.

No. This thread is only for proposing answers and for voting posts as helpful. As Santosh mentions, you need to get a Moderator's attention for that specific forum.
First, you can start a new discussion asking moderators to start changing Discussions to Questions if they're really questions. In fact, I can do that for you, if you'd like. Please link to the forums where that's a problem.
Second, as Santosh mentions, requesting on that thread for a mod to change it actually sometimes works. I even call out a specific moderator sometimes when I know they're super proactive and reading each thread.
Third, if the above two don't work, it likely means we need more proactive moderation in that forum. Then come to me (send me an email at edprice at Microsoft) and we'll see about what kind of moderation is still needed in those forums. It's basically like building a team of moderators.
Thanks!

Actually now I'm not really sure if this really belongs here. There are several replies proposed as answer by you Ed and none of them have been marked as answer yet (over a month back now). Probably that guy has just left the forums and will never really mark one answer as answer.
