While reading a lot of posts either to educate myself or troubleshoot a problem I was having, I couldn't keep thinking how useful it would be to have a new icon that is editable by the poster to show a completed solution in thier thread.<br /><br />This obviously would rely on the poster to update once he found the solution, but it would be an extremely valuable tool when searching and scanning posts to see how some of these issues were resolved.<br /><br />Forgive me moderators, I know this isn't an engine topic, but is related directly to this forum as well as a couple others relating to problems in boating, while most other topics wouldn't benefit as much from this new "completed solution" icon.<br /><br />What you guys think?

I like the idea, question is how much programming overhead for the creators/ maintainers of this free forum?

maybe just a config setting in the template, but I am doubting it is that highly customizable without some coding work.
