Question/Answer goes to Answered after any post

I just upgraded to the new Vanilla release which included the Question/Answer plugin. I enabled it, but it seems that any reply to a Ask a Question will instantly be tagged Answered. I thought the original poster had to mark it answered.

Is this the expected behavior for this plugin?

    actually... nevermind... they appear to have fixed the behavior you are seeing on this site, I'd check for an update to the plugin in the git repo

    This is the expected behavior of the plugin. Questions will go back to a question state if the person that asks the question rejects the answer.

    If you inspect the tags you'll notice that there is a different css class for an accepted answer vs just an answer so you can style things differently if you wish.

    Thanks.

    I ended up using

    partly for the visual difference between Answer? and Solved.

    And for anyone else reading, this can be done by modifying Base_BeforeDiscussionMeta_Handler in the class.qna.plugin.php file.
