Accepted Solutions & Likes Explained
You can post any number of questions related to using Braze or customer engagement more broadly within the Bonfire community. Whether you're inquiring about a specific product feature or validating expected product behavior, we encourage you to use the community as a valuable resource for answers. ACCEPTED SOLUTIONS One way you can assist other community members is by marking solutions that correctly answers posted questions — this is known as "Accepted Solutions." This practice validates that the response to a threaded question is accurate and helpful to you. We've established a reward system to recognize those who both give and receive "Accepted Solutions." Once an Accepted Solution is marked, you'll notice that the original message will be labeled as "Solved," which helps signal to others looking for threads with resolved responses. To accept a solution, simply click "Mark as Solution" in the lower left-hand corner of the message. LIKES We also encourage you to "like" any content that you find helpful or valuable, whether it's an answer to a question or content posted by another member that resonates with you. Likes are a great way to passively participate in the community, and we have set up rewards for those who give and receive likes as well.0likes0CommentsPrivate Messenger

There are a few ways to reply to a post. At the bottom of a post, you'll see a Reply option. Click that. A new window will appear directly under the post where you can type your reply, and then click the "Reply" button to post your response. This will create a threaded response to the original message. If a post has lots of replies in a thread, you can scroll to the bottom of the replies to start a brand new reply to the original message. Click in to where it says "Leave a reply" right next to your profile picture. This will open up the reply modal. To reply to a reply, make sure that you are clicking the "Reply" on the threaded post, not the original post. See the screen recording below for how both reply options look:0likes0CommentsNavigating Bonfire
