A good title should contain the brief description of your problem - it should not be longer than 80-90 symbols.

Hi, Community!
There are plenty of questions on Developer Community every day, which is great!
And which is even better - there are plenty of answers!
A few months ago we introduced a nice feature - 'accepted answer'.
'Accepted answer' is a checkbox on the left of every other answer you see in a question post. So it let's op to mark the particular answer as accepted one. If you do that, this question disappears from unanswered filter.
And, we introduced a special challenge of "Accepted answer" in Global Masters which gives 150 points for every answer which is marked as accepted.
So let's accept

What has been introduced:
1. Better notifications
