a "solved" button in the "help" forum

[L10N]

well I got the idea, that if people could see what topics are solved and what not, they could make they're tips and time more useful.

okay, that might have been a little misunderstood. See, Right now, I can't see wether a problem is solved or not. I'm judging by the number of replys, but as you probably know, even a topic with 20 posts can be unsolved.. right?

well.. let me know what you think and did you understand what I mean at all

I think that's a great idea!

How would you implement this feature? Does the topicstarter have to push the solve button or can anyone click it?

* Edit *

It would be also cool if they made a sub forum section where all these solved problems would automatically be moved to so others can easily find them.
Or maybe i'm just talking nonsence.

That's an interesting thought but I don't see how it could be done.

If i can:

I think that if problem is solved, then the thread name should be changed to something like this: *solved* or *s* (here the subject)

I also think it`s a good idea

1. well, the one to decide wether the topic is solved or not has to be the one that asked for help Some other dudes who think they helped, but actually didn't, can't possibly choose to end that discussion..

2. Yeah.. this is also a great possibility, who will do the work is another subject

also a nice possibility, but this probably won't work, since the users will probably forget or whatever.. even making it a rule to change the topics name wouldn't have the effect neede

hmm.. well, i'm not a coder.. but maybe someone could make a simple button, that will automatically add something to the beginning of the topics name ( [solved] for example). or is it that complicated?

oh, or maybe a button that moves the topic straight to the sub-forum Yanik talked about? Maybe this option is easyer, since there already is a button for that (a more complex one in fact).
