This thread gave me the idea: Finding posts with zero replies.

If the goal is to help people, maybe the gods could make it possible for the topic starter to mark a thread as "answered" or "unanswered"

Now I'm sure the argument against this would be that the topic starter would need to mark the thread as "answered" when they get a responce which is somthing they're unlikely to do. That may be the case with one time posters, but I think most will be able to handle that. It should be easy enought to enable a search on this new field as well as allow you to screen out posts with low repuataions or posts by monks with low reputations.

That's just my random though for the day.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
