Can we get a Subforum for "Ask a Pro" where we can put all the solved Issues?
It's pretty annoying to scroll through the posts just to see that it has been answerd already.
And people with issues can search in the subforum to find only answered Questions.

You and me both know that they won't search regardless. Keeping them where they are would at least give a chance that they'll see it.

I disagree... I often look through issues I can see are solved (have [solved] in the title or were last posted on by the geniuses that I learn from) just to learn something, I would definitely use this if it was implemented and it would make helping people even easier too... I ask that you reconsider

Unlikely to happen. Often, a question will seem to be solved, but a new issue will arise with the same piece of code. I'd rather they continue to use the same topic than to start a new one for each and every question they run into with a single piece of code. Solved is a tricky status to determine.

This is a good point. many times i have had one issue solved then a next issue has come up that i also need help with. perphaps we could give the creator of the topic to mark it solved, or introduce a forum rule saying you must [SOLVED] in the title of your post if it has been solved? this would be good

or perhaps we could just be able to move our posts in and out of the solved section....

or perhaps we could create a tutorial on that FAQ.

There is the issue that "solved" is a relative term. And the fact that generally almost everything in the ask a Pro section does end up getting solved, or at least resolved, one way or another.

Sure, but then we need to write a Wiki article in companion to the tutorial.

(sorry. fodder post, so I can create a thread to go ask my question)
