I am not sure how many people agree or what others thoughts are on this. It would be nice if there was a way to mark a Topic Solved or Resolved and mark either the post or posts that assisted the forum user in resolving the issue. There could be a point given to the post that gives the correct answer. It would be helpful in finding answer to a question know that it was solved previously instead of sifting through multiple topics to see if there was a solution.
I wish it was so simple… But otherwise I agree with you.
Nothing is ever that simple…
Let’s see if this works right…
Does not do the points part, but makes it obvious..
Only partially. Oh well…
Still have to look at the thread to see if there is a subject change. I have seen that used on this forum.
In the end, it still depends on user to report back. If you skim through thread, you might find a “thank you, it works” at the end. Sadly, many people don’t bother to give any feedback at all.
I’m of course not against it, but I also think that it could be misleading. Just because the answer helped original poster, does not mean that it will also help another, because they may not have exactly the same problem. But it could happen that seemingly unsolved thread may have some useful hints that did not help original poster (or they didn’t bother reporting back), but they could help other users.
