Do you have a suggestion for handling solved threads?

What, exactly, is a solved thread?
Who decides if the thread is solved - the OP may not have the expertise to know, and the community may not have the patience to care (and I'm sure the moderators don't, and shouldn't). What if one answer is given that works, but there are other, alternative answers that should also be known - they may never be posted if a thread is marked 'solved.'
How do you handle threads that aren't truly 'solvable' - thought puzzles, suggestions, contests, workshops, requests for advice... Are these categorized separately? If so, will being able to search for solved threads return relevant results - the answer might be in a thread posed in a not 'solvable' format.

It's not that I don't think it's a good idea, but it's one that will take some thought to implement well. Right now, I can't think of a method that is better than the current one for my uses.

As to threads that don't receive replies... the community, in many ways, is a bit market-driven. If the question is poorly designed, unanswerable, or if people can't or don't want to answer, then your thread is going to disappear. Bumping or reposting the thread with no changes may not be the best option for you, anyway.

Do you have a suggestion for handling this?

Something that I would like to see in the search function is this: the ability to search threads that Avatar God AND boolean have posted in.

Considering how many bloody threads some of us have posted in and the general weirdness of search returns, this would be a nice addition.

1. I can search only my threads.

You can browse your threads from your profile page, as noted. The ability to search is on the to-do list.

2. I will be able to see number of replies in a table format.

You mean for your threads? Hm, ok. Noted.

3. There should be a definite method to search solved threads.
4. I will be able to list all solved threads.

No. This has been discussed repeatedly in the past; we are not going to implement any kind of 'solved thread' system. See some of the previous threads, and Avatar God's points, for the reasons why.

You mean something that groups the topics/posts you made into sessions? That'd be interesting. Noted for the future.

Reposting is bad; if you want to pull a thread back to the top of the forum listing, post in the thread. That said, Avatar God is absolutely right; the community will ignore questions that aren't well-asked. At the very least you could be copying your post into Word and running it through the grammar/spelling checker. This is a little unfortunate for people who aren't native English speakers, but this is ultimately a site targetted at native English speakers...

Unless you're asking about something particularly obscure, there is always somebody perusing either the forum you posted in or Active Topics.

Avoid doing that - it's annoying and disrespectful. Mods typically don't like that - so you can get a warning increase, a suspension or even a ban. Bumping, reposts and cross posts are also discouraged.

Right now, there are 321030 people who are surfing on gdnet. If you don't get any answer to your thread, it's most likely because people don't want to answer (for various reasons). You should try to write posts that are easier to tackle with (giving more information and targeting the right forum can help).

You know, the quick response given to threads like these always makes me wonder if I shouldn't start making my posts less feasible.

"I'd really like to see <minor feature x>, and it doesn't seem to be difficult to implement. But no rush, I understand there's a long list of work for you to do."

... would become ...

"You need to do <minor feature x>. Also, please send each member one zebra per month, as this is an obviously lacking feature that is present in other forums. Perhaps I could contact the people who write your forum code?"

Maybe at least then I would get a "Hmm. Interesting, but may not happen soon." reply.
