THUMBS UP - For Problems Solved?

Shall we try something. I spend alot of time reading these boards to try and help (if possible) to resolve problems which are presented.

I've lost count of the number of times that I have looked at a post only to find the problem has long since been solved. Some post's sometimes get overlooked as I assume I have already looked at them.

When you guys & dolls post your problems your subject's are alway's very discriptive, which can be very imformative for others with the same problem.

After your problem has been solved why not goto to your first post, click on the "Modify" link and select the "Thumbs Up" icon from the Message Icon Drop Down Box.

Those that need solutions to their problems can then search for post with the Thumbs Up Icon, and those wishing to help can instantly see which have not been solved.

    To do this simply follow these steps:

    1. Click on the Modify Button - This has to be done on the first post in the thread, to show in the board index.

    Done

    But could we make it clear that this does not mean a thread is closed.

    I still want replies to subjects if anyone knows better ways or has more info :)
