a link next to each post that isn't theirs: "This post answered my question.".radio buttons below the common text area, "I'm still looking for help." (selected) and "I have my answer and require no further help." Upon clicking this link, they will be brought to a confirmation screen.Letting us know what helped you lets us improve ourselves. If you still need help, press Cancel. (this text sucks, but it's the general idea)Choosing cancel brings them back to the forum thread, with no changes made.SubmittingPosting with "I have my answer..." marks the thread as answered.Submitting with comments creates a new post and marks the thread as answered.

- There is no requirement for anyone to unmark a thread as answered.
Extra credit
The user of the post that answered the question gets a rating (can use tiki's rating feature). This rating is visible next to their posts.
Registration from new post screen

Indicator for threads you've posted in
This would make it easier to follow up on suggestions given (for contributors) or to find questions asked (for end users). [4]
Required functionality
- Highlight rows in the thread listing for threads that the current user has posted in. (Registered users only). Method of highlighting TBD (just put a class and will be handled by CSS).
What this isn't
- No indication within a thread
- No indication for other people's posts
List of thread with no replies
List of threads that don't have a reply yet. Useful to find people still needing help. [5]
Required functionality
- A "filter" to see threads with no replies. Should only be accessible or visible by contributors.
What this isn't
- A filter for n or more replies. Just 0.
Threads where the last reply was a contributor
When a contributor replies to a thread, more often than not there's nothing for other contributors to do until the user posts back.[6]
Required functionality
- A highlight for threads where the last poster was a contributor.
- Highlight the contributor's name in "Last post"
- Can be visible to both end users and contributors.
