Hmm, 69%+30%<100%, not 69%+30%=100%....

Something's wrong with these forums!!!

Hello,
while I'm installing Gentoo on my girlfriends notebook I noticed that in the result set of "unanswered posts", [SOLVED] posts (solution found by the subject's creator before anyone else answered) are displayed too. So maybe changing the query that these posts are filtered out might be worth (or not) - if anyone cares

heh, sounds good as long as it doesn't produce false positives. You'd have to include all the other identifiers people try to use - **solved** for example. The more you add, the more chance of falst positives though.

Due to performance reasons including searches where it has to partially match a string (topic subject) will not be added.

hi community,
i found many times that users (and also me) forget to add the tag [solved] to their posts; and if they remember add every kind of variation of tag: from *[solved]$ to ^(RE-SOLVED)* or something else.
What do you think to add a simple button near the classic "reply", "quote" and "edit" to set the topic "solved"?!
it's simplier to fill this record on db and the developers can add the "search on resolved" feature. (and mainly stop the uglyness of the exotic tagging!) :-)

As addon, a user that didn't start a thread, but reply to it, can ask a "solved" tagging using the same button. The system react to put it in an semi-solved status and notify the creator of topic to decide to tag the problem solved or discard the suggestion.

Uhm. I explain it in an horrible way... uhm. okay. forget anything and read again only the subject :-)
