Suggestion Solution to Question: Green Tick on PF Topics

  • Thread starter Thread starter cupid.callin

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the suggestion to implement a green tick indicator for solved topics in the forum, allowing users to easily identify resolved issues. Current practices rely on members to indicate if their questions are solved, but there is no automated feature for this. A previous solved marker existed but became ineffective due to software updates. The community acknowledges the need for clarity on topic resolution but emphasizes that additional responses can still be beneficial. Overall, the idea aims to enhance user experience by signaling when a topic has been addressed.

Hi all,

I just thought that the PF should have some way through which other people can know that the topic is solved ... i don't know maybe something like a green tick instead of that that message icon

Of course one cannot lock his topic (extra answers are always good!) but that would enable others to know if there is further help needed or not!

even if there is some new reply to a solved topic then you can add a small message icon along with the tick!

Please don't mind if there is always something like this of which i don't know ... do tell me if there is this feature and how to use it ...
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Are you referring to homework? If so, the answer is no. Yes, it's been discussed before, but for now, it's up to the member to post if he considers it solved.
 
We had a solved marker we could apply to threads a while back, but iirc the newer version of vBulletin rendered it useless.
 

Thread 'Thank you to mentors, advisors and members'

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...

Thread 'Thank you physics forums, 20 years later'

About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
