On the old forum layout, one could add (SOLVED) to the title of their post to notify that the problem has been solved and helpers can go where their needed rather than open stuff that is done.
New forum layout this ability doesn’t exist as the title is settable once then becomes unchangeable. No SOLVED Button either.
you must be remembering a different forum, it has been that way it is
now forever [only mods can change the subject/title, and there has
never been a “Solved” button]…see several thread on the subject
reaching back for two years: http://tinyurl.com/38zuuve
ps: maybe a coffee would help?

before the last change of forum design, I used a change to the title line to mark things solved and it worked but maybe this was an error.
As for the solved button, it was a wish discussed when dealing with what people want in the new forum layout.

I think the suggestion people were using was to use the ‘tags’ feature to
mark threads solved if they wanted to. Is that still available?

Yes, you did, but only for your post - not for the thread.

yes, all nntp users have that ‘power’ but i didn’t think it wise to note…
its like:
lunch customer: “Waiter, there is a fly in my soup!”
waiter: “Quiet, everyone will want one!!”
now everyone will wanna be use nntp, sigh.

I already had tried it and succeeded. I think you missed seeing a (subtle :D) change at the end of my post’s title.

Ah, that!
That would be like changing history. Not sure it is right.

True, but it would make for a nice “filter” (visual or otherwise), when searching forum for solutions.

But as we’ve discussed several times here before, a solution for one
person is not necessarily a solution for another person - there are often
factors not discussed that can lead to a solution not working for someone
else…

I’m referring to tags on the message, though, not the tag cloud - but
I’ll ping someone about the tag cloud since it shouldn’t actually go to
limbo…
