I was just browsing through the questions and having asked some questions myself I thought it would be nice if I could answer a few for some other people.
If you begin reading a thread and get to the end, only to realise that the problem has been solved then you have read the thread and don't end up answering a question for anyone.
If the thread was marked with a resolved flag, possibly marked by the thread initiator when they feel that the problem has been handled, it would mean that people can move faster to people that still need help.
Things like this have been tried in the past, but people so seldom actually do things like that. many seldom even reply again to thankyou, let alone offically say it's been fixed. if it could be implemented in a more useful way then it could well be brought back but it just wouldn't get used, just so a number of current fetaures such as ratings etc...
I suppose that's posters shooting themselves in the foot then :-)
Oh well, just an idea. I thought I couldn't possibly have been the first to have thought of it :-) There must have been a reason for it not being there :-)

Neuronet,
If you take a look at this thread *it* should have an "answered" button right next to the post reply button. Chris answered your question, but the thread is still maked as unanswered. As you see the heature really does go unused
