Heya, 

 

This section is kinda clutery and if you added a sub closed/locked forum called "Resolved issues" or just "Archives" so the mods could move threads after suggestions have been approved or denied, questions answered, or bugs fixed it would look a lot nice IMO.  

 

This would also help if users wanted to see if their bug has already been dealt with before they start a new thread or if their suggestion has already been denied/approved.

That would be a lot of manual labor for us, unless we just moved all locked topics to one section (which is an actual "select all" feature). 

But for accuracy reasons, I think it would be difficult moving all legitimately solved issues and implemented suggestions into a separate sub-forum.

Well what I mean is just use it for closed threads really or just old threads.  Like if no one has replied to a thread in so long for example 30 days or more then "trash" it by throwing it in the archives because they probably got the issue fixed themselves.

That's still a lot of extra work on us. Aside from the reports we have, we'd then need to regularly come to this section and look through a topic to see if it was solved.  Almost no one who has a solved topic comes back and adds the solved tag or adds solved to the title.

 

It's easier to just leave them here and let them fall off the page.

Alright, I understand that. :)

Keeping everything open sort of decreases clutter, because it does mean that if something happens again, users can just comment on the last topic instead of having to make a new one, I suppose.
