Mark as Solved in Q&A
-
I'm thinking it would probably be nice if we have some functionality for authorized users to mark some questions as solved. This is for those questions that were unanswered but OP has acknowledged in their comments that they have solved the issues by themselves.
Signature construction in progress. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I think that is already there in another way, Actually OP can answer his won question and himself can accept it. If the OP got solution for his own problem, that is better to post the solution as answer and accept it. It is useful for other who are facing the same problem. Thanks --RA

That's the ideal way, and I agree that some users are doing it. However, some do not just have the care to do it after they have solved their issue, and their questions stays on the unanswered bucket, when in fact, it was already solved.

If that is the case, how you are expecting them to mark as solved. If they really want to do that better to post the solution so that others can get help from the thread. Thanks --RA

It is not only a problem of OPs answering his own question, it is more a problem of OPs just don't accepting any of the solutions, because they don't even come back to the forum (answer is in notification). There are really a lot of questions that have enough answer of enough quality to be marked as [solved]. I agree, that should be the task of the OP, but if we (I mean a group of people with enoguh reputation) can get ride of bad questions by reporting them... why not have a similar functionality to mark them as solved (let's say after 5 or 10 votes)? That would keep the list of questions cleaner for those that filter solved questions.
Regards. -------- M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpfull answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

This sounds like a good idea to me. :thumbsup: I know they are working on revamping the QA area, so maybe they will include a feature like that. PS. Sorry for replying to an "old" thread, but I am going through the history, looking for messages like this. Soren Madsen
