It provides bad information when a best answer tag is given an incorrect answer - especially when the correct answer is actually given in the thread. Please provide a way to remove an incorrect answer tag.
I support your suggestion, although I feel that the "Best answer" is often not authoritative - quite often users choose their own thank-you post as the best answer - and since the best answer is chosen by the questioning user, my personal expectation is not that this tag denotes an objectively right answer. But people less active in the forum might think that.

I agree regarding answers that are explicitly incorrect. However, "Best Answer" is misleading. The forum only asks if an answer answered the question. It does not ask if it was the best answer.
Therefore, it is perfectly legitimate for responses to be marked as answers that the OP appreciated even though they are not the very best answer. Notice that even the forum software recognizes this. "Best Answer" changes to "Best Answers" when multiple responses are marked as having answered the question.
Perhaps MVPs should be more involved in marking correct answers, as they would often be better able to identify answers than users unfamiliar with the forums or the Logos software.
Would it be helpful to change the language from "Best Answer" to "Accepted Answer" ?
I like how "Best Answer" sounds, but perhaps that is a bit presumptuous. "Accepted Answer" would more accurately portray what is happening and would potentially be less misleading for new users searching for answers. I do like how "Answer" changes to plural when multiple answers are accepted. To MJ's point, it may be appropriate to grant MVPs the ability to reject accepted answers if a user accepts a clearly incorrect answer that could be misleading to other users within the community.
Community Managers and MVPs do have the ability to remove a comment from "Best Answers"
In the three dots, moderators with such select "Q&A" on any comment tagged as "Best Answer" to adjust the classification.

Logos software printing has few printing size options. Besides the pictures when being printed always come out with the image cut off. Please make the printing option flexible and make the whole image appear when printed. This is the example of the problem of printing on logos software. It has been like this since I…
After being hacked - severely, and having what was termed "excellent protection" I am ending my 4 decade "affair" with Microsoft. I started out my engineering career with Apple and that relationship tarnished very quickly. Both these operating systems are targets for hackers, and both are excessively costly to maintain.…

MS Windows permits the mouse scroll wheel to vary its rows scrolled. Currently I have mine set for one row for each small incremental turn of the wheel. This setting works for other apps like MS excel, word, et al. However, the setting as described does not apparently apply to Logos bible software (LBS). In your next LBS…
I currently use logos as part of my study of scripture but the only problem I have with it is that the speeds are limited. On audible I'm able to listen to books at up to 3.5 times speed, but on logos I can only listen to books on up to 2 times speed. This will often make me want to purchase books on audible rather than…
