Yes, please unpin the accepted answer. The answer accepted by the original poster is not always the best answer according to other users.

Unpinning will result in the answer that the majority believe is best will rise to the top, but the original poster's accepted answer will still be clearly visible as the one with the big green tick.

  • agreed, its a subtle change and probably will affect a small number of posts, but the ones that it does it will impact positively. So im ok with it.

  • Could be nice to have a switch button close to the question: "Move accepted answer to top / Move most voted answer to top". Sep 25, 2021 at 21:21
