This may have been addressed before, but if user could just click a button that says "Resolved" and have it add the word "Resolved" to the original subject would be a nice extra...;)

That'd be a feature change, and would require some coding, or for a hack to be installed, which to be honest, I can't really see happening :)
Though I do agree that there should be something like that.
I'll look into it for you.
Hope it's implemented ... sure seems like it would help...
I second James proposal with all my heart. It would make life much easier if the original author of a thread is given a Resolve Button, in his subsequent posts of the same threads.
I third the motion. As it is written so it shall be done :)
A lot of times I forget to do it cos it's so darned inconvinient.

Come on, more replys. The more we get, the better the chance it might happen...
For whatever it's worth, I think its a great idea.
Thats 4 (5 if plenderj) is on-baord. I only need 500 more...:(
Check vBulletin.org to see if there's a Hack already available. If there isn't, there's 0 to no chance that it'll happen ;)
That sucks. We got cute littel avatars, but somthing as simple as a resolved button, which would really help users in the long run, can't be implemented?:rolleyes: :(Quote:

How does it really help people? I dont understand the resolved thing at all =).
Z.
Resolved lets others user know that there probelms were indeed *resolved*. What thios does is allow a user who is searching for this topic at a later time to search fro topics related to that subject. Whn they see *resolved*, they will more than likely so they're probelm faster...Quote:

Get it?
Never had that experience, but ok =). Maybe I only look for the hard things =).

Not a very good idea. What if the thread starter want to reverse it?
I had recently saw 1 poster changed his title from
[Resolved] My problem
to
[Partially Resolved] My problem
After he found out that he still had a minor glitch with the solution.
The current method, IMO is still the best.
Well, I suppose in theory, all the Resolved button would do would be to edit the thread title, not add anything extra. All it would take would be the owner of the thread to change the title again.Quote:

And from what I have seen, a thread has a far lesser possibility of becoming Resolved to UnResolved.
I agree. Most people, once it is resolved, it's a done deal. ;)Quote:

*thumbs up*
This couldn't be hard to implement. It's just a new field to the topic table, saying it status among 3: unsolved, solved, not applicable
Dunno, maybe more. :P
Anyway, good idea.
A better idea would be someone grouping all those good ideas around here and make a petition...
Someone... Who could it be? :D
Maybe you could ask about some kind of new feature in vBulletin version 3...

I'd ask, but I'm banned :mad: ;)
I was nearly banned I think :)Quote:

But does "Resolved" mean the thread is not still open to further discussion?
Not necessarily, What it means is that the original question has been answered to the satisfaction of the thread starter.
So what if the thread starter thinks the question is resolved, but there are caveats with the "solution" that need to be pointed out?
You can obviously add to the thread later. No blocking of posts in the thread is taking place here. Just a simple word "Resolved" added to the title of the thread.
Good point. I guess they would have to depend on the emailing function then.Quote:

Well, I guess my issue is that people or going to skip over the "resolved" threads because they are "resolved", even if the original poster thinks his question is resolved on the first solution that works, whether or not its the best solution. Therefore denying the "learning experience" or something like that.
Yes, that can be the case, but if you do a search on a very popular topic, the results run into several pages, with many of them not having the answers. This makes things very dificult.
My point exactly. With resolved threads, at least you have a better chance of getting a resolution than just endless drone that never amounts to anything...;)Quote:

I'll throw in my vote (assuming we have them) for it. It'd save a few clicks and loads.
How about something that'll remove the word 'Well' from James posts too? :p
Yes, it was for that searching function I though at first too. It could reduce a lot redundant and/or repeated information/questions. :)Quote:

How about a button that will add FU Hobo to all his posts...:DQuote:
