Where did the "Solved" button go?

[Motorhead Kaze]

Heya,

Just looking for the "Solved" button and cannot see to find it.

[zvacet]

That button is not available for some time now.If you want you can add solved at first post of your thread.

Maybe this will help?

Removed in database cleanup operations, not back in yet.

Ah, so it wasn't my imagination. Thanks!

As of 5 minutes ago: apparently they aren't coming back.

:-(

Code tags will have to replace the 'Solved' link. Edit the post, then bottom right, Edit Tags, add 'solved'.

This button should really come back because with that, people will know when a topic is solved and they would not bring back a old topic.

Well, understandable. Getting these types of things is actually very resource-demanding. It's also why launchpad, instead of listing all subsribers to a bug, just shows the page and then retrieves the list. ubuntu forums are much more actively used though with 10k+ people on!

It's odd, I can believe the thanks system put a measurable extra strain on the database, but solved is surely unbelieveably tiny. I mean a thread is either solved or not, thats not a whole lot of extra information to store. I can only imagine its a poorly coded addon that caused issues.

Yeah you're right about solved. Maybe we should make a bounty to get a fixed one :/

You are correct, it was poorly coded. As far as I know the original author hasn't updated it to scale to a forum of our size. It works great on small forums.

I'm guessing it was this one (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=211020), yes? Though it was upgraded recently (but nothing about speed improvements).

Maybe we can get someone to code an improved one. I've started a cofundos project here - I hope the description fits the need: http://www.cofundos.org/project.php?id=171
