Probably through my own stupidity, but I've only just discovered where the resolved threads button is.
Not that I answer many posts on here, I'm a little too inexperienced, but if people actually changed their posts to resolved when they were wouldn't this make the forum easier to handle.
I think more should be made to publicise the idea of 'resolved threads', perhaps even a button on the page to click rather than in a sub menu?
Also when someone has posted several replies to a post, do you think this makes it less likely that someone else will help? I've had helpful but slightly clueless people ask lots of irrelevant questions. Does this look like the problems being resolved and so will be ignored by more knowlegeable posters?

Yes, I always assume that if the thread is on to its second page, it is being resolved. I wish I could go by some explicit tag or flag such as "[SOLVED]", but you just can't rely on that. People don't mark their threads. And why should they? There is no clear message telling them to do so. So, we all waste our time.
If only we could go around marking them as solved.
I agree that if problem has been solved then it should be marked as solved - the posters need to take some responsibility for this (if they are aware of this option). But doesn't marking a thread "solved" close it for further discussion? Someone further down the track might have further questions.
