Did someone answer your question? You can now mark it as solved!
A feature of vBulletin has been opened up to let others know when an answer has been supplied in a thread. To let everyone know that your question has been answered, you'll need to edit the original post and select "[Solved]" from the Prefix drop-down list. Currently, this feature only works in the iPhone SDK Development forum.
It might be a little too obtuse at the moment for people to use it. Is there anyway to make it more streamlined but without getting in the way of normal posting (maybe have a button as you post a reply to specify that its been answered or something). I think having a little extra step like editing the original post is just enough of a slight inconvenience to make most people not do it.
I don't see this feature anywhere. I edited the post that started the thread, went advanced, I don't see a prefix drop down anywhere or a "[solved]" anywhere. I am trying to just manually add "[solved]" to the subject to see if that has the same effect.
This is for a post in the SDK forum, "appstore release date screwed up?"
EDIT: Yeah still don't see it. I even fired up FireFox thinking maybe it's not supported in Safari, still can't find it.
Cool!
Although, before we could just edit [Solved] into the title. (Just saying this as most forums block editing the title after it has been set).
I hope people use this, it will be very helpful.
Unfortunately the prefix seems to only be shown for new posts, not when editing old ones. So aslong as we don't answer our own questions this feature is useless as it's implemented today.
Nevertheless I do like the idea and hopes it will work some day. I don't mind edit my original message to update it's status if it makes the forum more useful. I see it as a pay back for the help.
u could just turn on the vb setting that if a post hasnt been replied to in x days it sets it as a setting.. in your case solved... unless the solve setting is an addon for vb... in which case. rick maddy is right. "we need people to use it"
I also edited my first post which started the Thread and edited the title to include "[Solved]" but that didn't work on the Thread Title in the threads list of the forum, just for the first post in the thread.
