brushman said:I think a "Solved" option should be implemented in the homework help forums. This will reduce the time homework helpers spend reading through already solved threads.
Note, I intentionally excluded an "unsolved" option, because many people would forget to update their thread after it became solved.
A "Solved Prefix" is a label or tag that is added to a thread or post in a homework help forum to indicate that the question has been answered or solved. This helps other users quickly identify which questions still need assistance.
The process for adding a "Solved Prefix" may vary depending on the specific forum platform you are using. However, it is typically done by editing the title of your post or thread and adding the word "Solved" at the beginning, or by selecting a "Solved" option from a dropdown menu or button.
Using a "Solved Prefix" on homework help forums is important because it helps other users quickly identify which questions still need assistance. It also allows the forum moderators to keep track of which questions have been answered and which ones still need attention.
In most cases, you can remove the "Solved Prefix" from your question on a homework help forum if you believe it was added in error. However, it is considered good forum etiquette to leave the "Solved Prefix" on your question to help others who may have a similar problem in the future.
Yes, some homework help forums may use different methods to indicate that a question has been solved, such as using a checkmark or a different color for the thread title. However, using a "Solved Prefix" is a common and effective way to label solved questions on most forum platforms.
