    Thumbs up 'Resolved' in the title

    Whoever's idea it was to start putting 'resolved' in the title, take a pound out the till. Great idea.

    But can I add my bit, which I have said before: PLEASE can we use more meaningful titles in the first place? Please?

    Eg, "Help I'm stuck" is not good!

    (Is "whoever's" right or should it be "who'sever"?)

    The idea, as far as I can tell, originated from John Percival's mind, and I mean the admin John Percival, not the user.

    It was in response to a request by some members, including myself, to provide for a way to tell if a thread had been answered to the satisfaction of the thread starter. And John said till another solution came up, we could use this work-around instead.

    Me, too, thinks this work-around is perhaps better than any solutions. Congratulations to John.

    Also I see that many people have slowly but surely started adopting this practice.

    About the thread titles, it cannot be helped. If you are really pissed off, you can either visit each such thread and try to educate the posters, or ignore them completely. The balance between the two approaches would of course be to view and try to answer the problems.

    Use meaningfull thread titles. And add "[Resolved]" in the thread title when you have got a satisfactory response.
    And if that response was mine, please think about giving me a rep. I like to collect them!

    well it was Honeybee's Idea (stop being modest )

    the original idea was to have the post "flagged" not just the title changed....

    It's not modesty, but the truth. You can ask John, now that he is back.

    And I didn't include the stuff about Ian, that credit goes to Simon

    Actually, you would be the loser. You just receive a kick in the shin and your pint goes to Simon.
