Stack Exchange have been getting a hard time with regards to recent changes made, so I thought it would be good to point out a small thing, I think, is making a good change.

I am refering to the recent change of the duplicate auto comment, it was

Possible duplicate of...

but now says

Does this answer your question?

The change I have observed with this is in the reply I receive when flagging the duplicates, they used to be universally negative, people complained that I was just trying to close their questions etc.. (you know what I mean, I am sure) but since this small change I have been getting

Yes, that is what I needed!

 

That really helps thanks!

 

Just what I was looking for!

This indicates that the change in wording has changed the perception of these comments and it is nice to receive some thanks for the effort of finding these duplicates for a change.

Well done SE, good job.

Has anyone else noticed this change, do you think these small thing make a difference to the user experience?
