Let's say I start a new thread in the Costomization Section cause I've got a question and need help. It's a simple question and gets answered by the first reply. Case closed.....right?

Yes - but to all who's lurking in the costomization section this person is still looking for help --- so another CSS expert jumps in only to find that the questions been answered already. Waste of time for that guy.

OK - to make a long story short....

Wouldnt' it be nice if there was an "Unsolved Mysteries" column next to the thread which showed either:

a) an open folder - ie. problem not solved...please come in and help, or
b) a closed folder - problem solved, move along...

Am I on to something here or way out to lunch?

Actually, because some posts aren't "problem/solution" related - you could have the thread starter specify weather or not a "folder" icon should be added to the thread.

The more I think about it, the more I think it makes sense for more than just the costomization section.

You could also, in the same column, have an "FYI" icon to specify that the thread is obviously just - FYI. hmm...

Any thoughts?

bumpity bump...this one must have just gone through the summertime cracks...?

Personally, i don't really see something in this, especially not in the customization forum. Alot of times, one question leads to another. I prefer them to be in one thread, instead of creating a new thread for each question. You would have to give all the required information again each time, and there would be too many threads. Also, alot of times, the first question and it's solution are linked to the following questions and answers.
