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.

Your idea is a good one, however at the moment it wouldn't be effective because we don't allow users to edit their posts after a certain amount of time has passed.
