Shouldn't this be "Sign In With Discord" or "Sign in with Discord"?

This is a question that I am asking

some test

Here's an example post with post guidelines consent enabled

The content of the post doesn't matter you can just use spam text, the main point is to get a feel for how the interactions work

Feel free to make test posts in this channel to try out Answer Overflow

You can select a solved tag from the web dashboard

Here is an example solved post that uses the solved tag when a question is marked as solved

What should I set to make the Ans. Overflow bot answer automatically as soon as a post is been sent?

Automatic message

If you server uses all of the tag slots and does not have room for a solved tag, then a checkmark reaction is used as a fallback

Here is an example solved post that uses a checkmark reaction

questions

Hello 👋

Our bot does not send the consent prompt automatically. /send-consent-promt does work and the notice about messages being indexed has been added to the server rules and the posts channel.

What configurations need to be done, to automatically send the prompt?

Bot does not post consent prompt automatically

I got existing threads which should be indexed and the bot can also see the threads (checked with the feature to see the server with a specific role) but I cannot select the threads when using /channel-settings - is there anything I am missing?

How to add Answer Overflow to existing threads?

When trying to enable indexing for a forum channel I get this message. What to do or where do I find more informations? Maybe the perms are wrong or so, but I dunno.

An unexpected error occurred. We've been notified and are looking into it.

Hi guys,
is there a German localization available or the possibility to support you with that? Or is it possible to adjust the different Texts the bot is posting?

German localization

Hi guys,
is it possible to use both ways in the same forum? A Tag to marked it generally as solved and the reaction to mark the right answer?

And: if a moderator for example sets the reaction manually, does this work too? Or should he right click on it and set it this way?

Thanks in advance!

Possible to use solution Tag and reaction at once?

Is it possible to disable the "Message Not Public" notice? We have Roblox verification in our server and it would be ideal to make questions visible without forcing users to join and verify

How long does indexing take?

The onboarding process was quite confusing. Would be good to point out that `/channel_settings` is a Discord bot command and not, eg. a an addition to the URL to which you get redirected after successfully adding the bot to your server.

Afterwards, I accidentally closed the tab in the onboarding process and I can't seem to get back to onboarding so I've lost the steps that need to be taken.

This now brings me to the question of; how do I know if I got it right? I've done the `/channel_settings` stuff to enable access to our #help forum but I don't see any changes in the
 dashboard.

How do I know whether everything has been setup?

I have the bot running but don't know how to check to see if it's ingesting correctly.

how can I find my community's landing page on answeroverflow.com?

I want to enable Answer Overflow on our Discord Server, but am currently failing to do so unfortunately :/ The _Quick Start_ of the docs tells me to post `/channel-settings` in the channel to enable it (after inviting the bot to the server). But how do I do that in a forum channel? I tried to create a new thread there where I just used that as the title and the first message, but nothing happened. Is there some other way to post such a command in a forum channel or is there maybe a completely different problem?

Do you have a dashboard to check everything that was cached on a server?
Or how it can be checked?

Is there any way to find out how many users have consented to indexing? I would be really useful to know if most users are doing it, or if there are a lot of holdouts.

User Consent Report

Is the tool currently able to be self-hosted?
I'm not seeing anything about that in the documentation.

Self Host?

Hi Guys 🙂
sometimes it happens that a newer answer it the right answer cause somebody found an even better solution for the question. So it would be helpful when you are able to change the marked answer. At the moment its not possible, see screenshot.

Option to changed the marked answer

Suggestion to make the instructions into a gif for more visibility and clearer tutorial

Would be cool to delete the first bot message when the thread is marked as solved. Would also improve the overview of the thread.

Delete Bot message when thread is marked as solved

Hi,
would be really cool and improve the overview for the users if these both messages are only visible for the creator of the post, is possible.

Bot messages in forum post should only be visible to the thread creator

Error marking messages as answer

The website isn’t showing messages from bots

Not showing Bot messages

On this page: https://www.answeroverflow.com/m/1091370232033050746
We see a thread that contains only two messages, one from me and the other from the AO bot itself. For some reason, the AO bot message is not public. Additionally, I am a member of the server, so I'm not sure why I can't see all messages anyway.

Probably any bot should be marked as consenting automatically, since they can't opt-in themselves and... they're bots.

Messages from the bot are not marked as consenting?

When using the "Send Consent Prompt" button on from the /channel-settings command, the operation times out:
