Answered or not

Posibly add the ability to mark a topic as 'answered' or 'closed'. I know this isn't a huge issue at the moment, but I can see this being a huge time saver if this forum continues to grow.

Great Point!

I can think of 3 solutions:

1. I can lock the topic.  It will put a lock icon next to the topic heading.  See the "Approval Confirmation Email?" topic under Forum Suggestions. It will also prevent anyone from being able to reply to the topic again.

2. I can sticky the topic.  It will make the topic heading in bold and put it at the top until I un-sticky it.  There are 3 Sticky Topics in the Forum Intro section.

3. I can change the standard icon next to the topic to a Question Mark like I did for this topic.  Then when the question seems to be answered I or the OP (Original Poster) can change the icon to something else like a smiley.

What does everyone think?

With no response, I made an executive decision and decided to go with the topic icons. I changed all topics on the forum to represent if the topic was answered or not. 

When posting a new topic, please change the message/topic icon to a Question Mark to represent that help is needed.  If you are posting a tip, please use the Lamp icon to represent an idea to share with everyone.
