    A while back I suggested a zero replies forum where all posts with zero replies are automatically placed after a day or two, so that they are highlighted, then removed from the forum once they are answered. Well since then I have had yet another post go un-answered, so it got me thinking about it again. Is it not possible? Pretty please.

    If not how about a check box appearing next to each thread which indicates if the question has been solved, (I know that is what locking a thread is about, but not everybody realises that) which is automatically checked after say 2 days. If it is checked after that period and it is still unanswered the thread originator can uncheck it (but only the originator, or administrator).

    I think it would be really helpfull, but what do you think?

    I still think it would be a good idea.

    Yeah, good idea, i don't like lock because it will block new comments even if the Q has been been answered. We should have three stages instead of two: Qwestion not answered, Qwestion answered and locked.
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    I think we need to Keep it simple, as a rule if something is too complicated it doesn't work.
