This is a a fantastic feature. Not least because it adds tremendous value whether you're asking or answering. Before it was hit or miss whether people would even see your question, even if you offered a healthy tip.
Now there is every incentive to make the tip proportional to how much you want the question answered. That means when you're asking you have a way to get quality answers fast when you really want them. (Proviidng you have a few bucks!) And when you're answering, you can easily find out what things people most want answered, and not miss out on good tips.
One little niggle... when you have selected the "open questions" tab - i.e. The default one - and sort by highest tip, you see a few of the highest tip questions, but then it goes to questions with no tip. This is misleading and people might miss out on good tips that are just below the top few.
(Like my $4 question about freelance writing, dammit! ) Of course if you remember to select the tab for "questions with tips" that doesn't happen. But why make it hard for people to get the result they want?
If I ask to sort by highest tip, it's pretty obvious I want the zero tip questions right at the bottom, not popping up ahead of $4 tip questions!
Thanks! By the way, can we get a cookie or something in order to store the ordering that we last selected? I'd like to see something like this especially on the sorting that we can select for *answers* that show up when we click on a question.
I wished that feature was on the site a couple days ago and Bam! Its here! Great Job.
Next it would be great if you could have the option to filter the results from ones already viewed.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
