soycharliente Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 It would be nice to have the "topic solved" link at the top. When I go to my thread and the final post helps me, I have to scroll ALL......... THE......... WAY........... DOWN............ Especially if the number of posts is the max the page can display before it paginates (did I just make that tense up?). Maybe have the tab at the top left where the pagination links are and have those appear above. I am the Photoshop king.............

pocobueno1388 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I agree...then the people that are new to this forum and don't know they are supposed to click it will be more likely see it and know what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I'll suggest it to the writer of the mod to see what he can do. However, wouldn't you most likely be reading the thread when you realize it's solved? I guess you're likely to go back after testing something... but I'd say it's about 50/50.

soycharliente Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 I guess for me it would be helpful at the top. I sort with the most recent at the top. Maybe it can depend on the sort preference as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pocobueno1388 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Barand - I wouldn't say it is so much the laziness of scrolling down being the motivation to fix it, but rather to make it clearer to the newer people to the forums to know they need to press it when their topic is solved. I know that I would never see it if I was new to the forum, even if I did know to press it, I still wouldn't know where to find it, lol. It would make more sense to put it where suggested =] This isn't a huge issue though...just might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayBachatero Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Sorry for the late response. Was on vaction to Dominican Republic . The main reason as to why it's at the bottom is because it's a moderation action and that's where moderation actions go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I have to disagree about it being a mod action. OK, mods should be able to mark topics resolved, but so should the OP of the particular topic. They are the only ones who can really say if a topic is solved to their satisfaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think about it, that's the only place that it "fits". It doesn't really go in the other tabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soycharliente Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 I was really just making a suggestion to place it at the top because usually I'll read a post that did the trick or post myself and I'm already at the top of the page.

ober Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Jay has graciously moved the link. It can now be found at the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barand Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 From a mod's viewpoint, when I read the final post and it says "That worked", it would be nice not to have to scroll all the way to the top to be able to mark the topic as solved (BTW - where at the top - I can't find it ?)

AndyB Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 (BTW - where at the top - I can't find it ?) It was there when I looked before, but now it's neither at the top nor bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soycharliente Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 It's included in the bar on the top right along with reply, notify, mark unread, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Andy/Barand... it's in the top right like charlieholder pointed out. And I think I'd rather leave it at the top because that's where most people will be looking for it. (hence the origional request). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 And it's actually on the bottom right of the thread as well... so now you can have your cake and eat it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barand Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 is it an "everyone except mods" thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soycharliente Posted July 2, 2007 Author Share Posted July 2, 2007 If you're looking on this thread, you will never be able to see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
