 * Hi,
 * i only want to say, that i wish me for the forum the following things (hope this
   is the right sub-forum for this thread):
 * – when i will help other members, i would like to have an advanced search for
   threads (example: i will only find unsolved threads for the last 2 weeks in a
   special theme)
 * – i think, the people must be reminded to mark the thread as solved, when it 
   will be solved – it will help other people to see, if the title/content of the
   thread can help you and if its solved
 * that’s all for first. happy new year

 * Oh – you and about a thousand other forum regulars. 🙂 Seriously, we’d all love
   better search options and a way to monitor topics that we’ve been involved in.
   But although it’s on the Wish List, I don’t see it happening any time soon. For
   now, I monitor topics via my profile and use Firefox’s Ctrl+F function to highlight
   all those with recent responses.

 * At the foot of each new post box, there’s a checkbox with the label “Mark this
   topic as resolved”. That’s a fairly new addition and we have seen a significant
   rise in topic resolution as a result of it. But it’s still far from 100%. Not
   sure what else we can do about it.

 * You can have a nightly batch process that sends an email reminder that their 
   thread will be marked expired and closed on all posts older than X days then 
   add an extension button or checkbox to extend the topic.
