Thanks @jomaxro.

@sam (maintainer?) - this seems like only half the “expected” functionality of a plugin like this?

If User 1 asks a question, User 2 answers it and Admin 1 marks User 2’s post as the solution; then surely both User 1 (OP) and User 2 (‘solver’) should get the notification?

User 1 (OP) is currently not notified that a solution has been found to their question in the above scenario?

Perhaps this is more edge case than I realise?

I think it is. On boards I use, admins don’t usually accept answers and wait for the OP. If the topic is done, and the OP doesn’t accept any answer the moderator would _close_ the topic instead of selecting an answer.

While I agree with @Falco that this is likely edge case-y, I think it would be a very nice feature if implemented. Different sites interact differently, so I would assume that more sites than @twbartlett have staff marking answers and could use this (no data to back me up here…).

I think it is ok to notify the op in this rare case, should be a site setting for the plugin
