  Quite often I wonder weather or not the problem that the topicstarter stated has been solved in a satisfing way. I think I''ve seen this somewhere; the topicstarter may set the thread as ''Completed'' once the topicstarter is satisfied with the replies. That way you would know which threads that needs support, so to speak. It could be visualized by having a darker subject-font on completed threads. By doing this, you would get a more effective community. 
  Some posters already do this; if you want to edit your topic titles to indicate the problem status, that''s your prerogative, and it seems a fairly polite and constructive thing to do.I don''t think it could be an enforced system though. The solution presented may be incorrect, may be sub-optimal, or may be correct but the original poster refuses to acknowledge this. ;  The fact is, most people don''t change their subject, but if there was an option to do it automatically, my guess is that most people would do it, which I think would save a lot of people lots of time.   The official zorx website;  The Reply to Topic form can have a checkbox for the original poster  asking if the problem's been solved; if so, the topic title can be appended with "SOLVED" or indicated in some other way. edit: The logic being that, almost always, the OP replies with a comment when his problem is solved, so that's a logical place to put the checkbox.  ~CGameProgrammer( ); -- Post screenshots of your projects.

It will be very important to make the ''Declare Completion of Thread''-button very easy to acces. If the button is put below the last post (which often is the one that completed the thread) it will be easier just to press that button right after the OP has read the answer.It will even be simplier than posting a thank-you-post! Ppl will still know that the OP appriciated the answers.I''d recomend changing the font-color rather than just add some text to the topic. The font-color-changing will give an unbeatable overview over what threads has been completed. ;  I agree, it would be usefull.   -www.penten.tk- "The problem with America is stupidity.
