Verfied Answer

How do I know who gave the "Microsoft Verified Answer" to a certain post?

 

Why does the person who posed the question get access to "Microsoft Verified Answer?"

    At odds with the Microsoft veryfied answer feature. Fully aware that this feature is of use when the answer is straighforward, but in a community where there are discussions and various ideas this seems out of place to 'award' this to some posts. This adds to overall feel that this network is a forum and not a community.

      We are working to change this. In the future you won't see "Microsoft Verified" but instead "Best Answer". The person who wrote the question, as well as Admins and Microsoft have the ability to choose the "Best Answer". If you see an answer that is chosen as "Best Answer"- but clearly isn't right, ping one of the community managers and we'll help to get it untagged.
  • That's intresting for me as well. Just accepted the answer as solution and immediatelly received automatic Microsoft verification.
