We know you have an opinion on how things should be run around here. These are suggestions for the forums, and the website.This forum is not a place to ask for suggestions to your own coding (or otherwise) problems.
every that has [solved] or is solved moves to a folder that holds all the solved questions
would be handy if you wanted to see if your question was already solved
That would hurt searching. When you do a search of the boards, you can set which particular forum you want to search. If all the threads with answers were moved out, searching wouldn't be too effective
Real programmers don't comment their code. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
But you can always just search for "[solved]" along with the other keywords you want and check the box "All terms".
Should work fine. We love phpBB's search facility. It's been rumoured that Google will soon be paying for the rights to the code in their upcoming rewrite of Google.com.
Besides that, reasons of original poster are somewhat unclear to me. ryuuka, who do you think should decide whether specific issue was solved or not?
i think that should be decided by the original poster. just make some kind of rule that were the thread has [SOLVED] in the title it's moved to this forum.
and the reason for this idea is that it would be a lot easier to see if the problem you have is solved or not.
you could get it at a glance[/quote]
There already is the request that people put [solved] in the title iirc, but so many people post once and don't even reply to say thanks, let alone confirm it worked, that it would be very difficult to tell.
A slightly different idea, but related: I would suggest a contest for the best threads on PHPDN. Everyone can suggest the threads they learned most from or that they believe are most educational for others and are worth preserving. Once we have a shortlist, everyone is invited to vote on them and we then publish a list of the best threads as a sticky.
