allow me to see answers to questions where I refer answerers.

Status: started

It's great to hear suggestions about this, because people are just starting to amp up use of the 'refer' command.

    Absolutely agree

    Thankfully, It's relatively easy to achieve similar functionality now by clicking "I'd like to know, too!" before you refer, but having it a part of your history would be way better! I, for one, would really like to know how helpful my referrals are/have been..

    I imagine these would be helpful statistics for you as well, and as I presume you already have access to these data, implementing it in the UI shouldn't be too difficult?

  4. I've referred some questions, but they are not in the history. I'm assuming this is because the people I referred it to never joined. It would be good to know some of the questions I've been asked so I can refer later when I think of someone who could answer or the first person I refer it to doesn't respond.

    Yes definately. I referred a question to a friend but I was unable to see what she wrote. So now I don't know if she is the right person to answer any future questions. I don't know if she wrote a very insightful answer or if she told the guy he was a loser! So being able to monitor referral answers would help a great deal.

    This serves dual purpose - to know the answer, second, whether the referee can be trusted to answer future questions..

  7. When you get the question, you can respond "lmk," which is supposed to tell the person who asked the question to forward the answer to you, but I've yet to see it actually work. I've lmk'ed a number of questions, but never heard back.

  8. Referer should be able to see whether his Referee replied to the question, and the answer if any.

    yes please. It'd be awesome to learn the answer when I didn't know it in the first place.
