Have sub-forums in "General", "Anting", and "Ant Keeping" that are specifically meant for asking questions? These should function like the "Ant ID Requests" forum does, by having the option to mark a thread answered by selecting the best user answer?

I'm not sure about separate sub-forums, but a general forum mod for either a single or multiple users to be able to select a "best answer" would be helpful.

The Members Classifieds has a sub-forum- to anyone that does not know how those look or work.

But not every thread should be answerable. Should my "7-09-14 Desert Anting Trip" thread be answerable? If anything, then there should be two options- "Start New Thread" and "Ask New Question".

A sub-forum would be helpful to keep things neat so that all the questions don't get mixed in with all the actual discussions.

But a lot of questions turn into discussions. I don't really see a difference between the posts you're talking about other than a question mark.

 

Do these other subforums not have the best answer option available like the ID Request subforum does?

What would happen if the feature was enabled across all boards? 

[Gregory2455]

There should be normal threads and question threads then, as I stated above.

I enabled the "Best Answer" option on all subforums except Journals and Classifieds.
