Suggestion: different icon for question with an accepted answer

#DC Feedback

How about displaying a different icon alongside a question for which there is an accepted answer? Perhaps add a green checkmark adornment to the existing icon?

John, not to beat a dead horse, you say the facility already exists? Are you referring to the Vote Up/ Vote Down?

I thought that was for if one liked the post or not. I never associated it with whether one accepted the answer or not.

Sorry, but I see a difference here.

I have several posts that I like the answer, but do not accept it and the difinited answer.

But, maybe it does not matter.

Today's DC update means that questions with an accepted answer have the background of their answer count box shown differently. In the screenshot below, the first question has received 3 answers but the OP hasn't marked any of them as accepted. The second has now answers, and the third has two, one of which has been accepted by the OP:

That's good, but when I click into the third question I am no longer shown which of the answers the OP accepted:

 

Prior to the DC update I would have seen a green checkmark alongside the accepted one.

Is this change deliberate, or an unintended side-effect of you no longer showing the checkmarks when they're not clickable (which means they're hidden from everyone except the OP)?
