I am trawling these forums daily, and used to try help out people with their problems if I could. I'm using the "new posts since last login"- feature to check out what is happening in the MP-community, as I find it hard looking through the different forumsections.
Well.. I often "follow" topics to see if there has been any progress with support-questions, but often see topics getting hijacked, or comment posts that has little, or no value to the topic creator.
The frase "Use the search function" also get used a lot on these forums.
The aformentioned lead me to think that it would be good to have a "topic solved" - function available to thread-starter, and moderators, along with a re-frasing of the topic it self.
ex: topic : "Configuration crashes when autotuning."
when the thread starter, or moderators fixes this, or a sollution has been found the topic could be "SOLVED: Configuration chrashes when atotuning with Hauppague PVR-500", and maybe get a different color. :?:
This would help supporters, and the supported to "wrap up"- a topic.
There could also be a "rating"-function to different types of topics:
- Tips/tricks
- HTPC-setup
- Codec-issues
etc..
This would help searching the forums a lot as people can have a sense of value to the topic.
Does this sound like a good idea? High: is this possible?
My two cents
