Changing the Status of a thread

Hi Michelle, we do not need Threads marking as Solved. Just let your helpers know that you have used their solution and if you want click the Thumbs Up icon in the bottom right corner of the solution's post.

So, can I ask what it is I am looking at when I click on the "Unresolved Threads" option? What places a thread in that status?

Hi Justin,

The "Unresolved Threads" option is showing threads that do not have a "resolved" status as you probably suspected.

The ability to mark a thread as "resolved" is something that we've only had for the last year or so. Historically this didn't exist on OzGrid and so for that reason it's never been a requirement on here. If people do decide to do it then it's really just a bonus.

All the best,

Sam

Hi Sam, Sorry I was told previously in the thread we cannot make them as resolved?

The actual wording is " we do not need Threads marking as Solved." either way it is a confusing thread.

But is it resolved? ?

(edit: it is now )

Ozgrid never had this option so it wan't necessary.

Now we do, maybe it can be optional.

fwiw I see it as entirely optional - as Roy states, it was never a feature that existed previously. If people want to use it then go for it, but there's certainly no obligation to do so

Dave didn't want threads marked as solved because it might interfere with searches. I don't think that matters now
