allow to say answered

[adly3000]

i hope to allow the owner of the question to say "answered" and then display the answered icon(like right check) in the main forum page

You mean like in experts-exchange.com ? And than closing the topic !?

[gesf]

hunnn.... that would discourage other posters and ideas.
However people always say.... like: "problem solved!" or "Thanks mate that helped!"

[adly3000]

i think it's better to others(specially you and the other mods.) to not open a solved question

[gesf]

Well adly3000... i like the idea! Anyway, a feature like this (closing the topics if that's the case) would cause a user to open a new topic (duplicated) and perhaps with a stupid question that he/she was not able to conclude in a closed one.
And suggesting/asking a user to notify the other posters will be a waste of time. A great example: we all know the main rules of a BBS, but... cross posts and the no use of code tags... well... they still

However, this can be a great PHPBB hack, pluggin... whatever! Believe me!
Is there some adventurer here !?

You may always edit your post and add: SOLVED if you want to.
However its not a problem for us to open old questions in case some new pots have been made
