Problem open/solved

[Guus2005]

Here's a link to a dutch website www.helpmij.nl which looks like this site. Open questions have a question mark, closed/solved questions have a tick mark. This way you can easily see which questions you don't need to answer to.

There a similar practice with a French forum I visit, in which you click on a button on your thread to make a [Solved] tag automaticaly appear on the title.
Adding to the fact that you know which questions you don't need to answer, it also helps finding threads with an answer you are looking for. I hate to look at a 20 posts thread to find out that all the posts are «I do have this problem to...» with no real solution to it.

I have this problem as well

Actually if the site owners are unaware it should be a modification available from vbulletin.org I would imagine. Nope don't use vBulletin in answer to anyone asking, use invision myself

It's not so much that the site owner is unaware, it's just that he's never here.
