Pete91 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 (edited) Not so much a site mod but more something that could be added to the T&C's. Don't know how much of a pain in the arse it would be to moderate but it would be quite good to put "solved" in the thread title of help topics so people sifting through threads for help could quickly and easily see whether the issue was resolved. Members could even report the thread so that it flags up to moderators to let them know the issue was resolved and that the title can be changed?

Rich Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 If someone agrees to this are you going to put 'solved' in the title ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Depends if the mods approve.So if the mods approve you're going to call this thread 'solved solved'.That sounds a bit silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Aw yeah never thought of that. I'll put "solved" in bold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 So you're going to bend the new rules already ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Eh? I think you'll find the rules have always illustrated that it should be bold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Problem is 9 times out of 10 the thread is started asking for help, advice is given, the person goes away with advice, if it doesn't work they come back and ask for more help, if it does work we'll never hear from them again, or until a new problem crops up. Either way, we don't hear from them regarding what was done to solve the original issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete91 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Yeah i see your point Pete. It does happen quite a lot that people come on, post a problem and then leave without saying whether it was fixed but I would still say that there a quite a few people that would go to the effort of changing the topic title to let people know the outcome.

MattyB Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Done!It was a feature they'd introduced in the new version I didn't know existed. Turned it on only in the required sections, like mechanicals, etc - but there's now a "mark solved" button. Which I'll test on my post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyB Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Oh, and you click "mark solved" on the actual answer, not the original post - the wording they've chosen for it is poor - should really be "best answer" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
