    Solved Section...

    Posted 18 years 10 months ago
    • What about taking all the (SOLVED) posts, and move them to another catagory that contains sub-catagories that deal with topic of the 'solved' post?

      Once this is done, each day - or every two or three days, move the solved postes, as they build up, into the appropriate sub-catagory. Then advertise that folks should look there first.

      Does this defeat the need for a search feature? Is this just more busy work that's needless?

    • Sounds like a good idea to me, if only people remember to tell that they solved a problem :)

    • thomas is spot on re. changing status of message, it's not always done and can be quite annoying

      searching is the most important thing ... if you search, 99/100 you'll find the answer to any issue with any template apart from maybe the current month in the first week or two of the month

    • I dunno, i think people just wouldn't even look there, better to just have them marked (solved) and/or use the check icon.

    • Granted. After thinking, it may create more work and confusion than it's worth.

      Searching keywords is the answer - as it stands now. Seems that those 'solved' topics could be used for something, other than just a search though.

    • As an user and moderator, I like to see solved and check icons when looking for solutions and moderating.

      At first glance, I can see in which posts a working solution has been given, and which one still need answers.

    • Heres an idea,
      Can the message icon column be sorted, like you can sort the subject, started by, replies, etc...
      Then you could order all the solved messages to the top of the page.

    • You could just make 'em sticky perhaps?
      And then after a month or three join all similar topics and keep it clean?
