Append [RESOLVED] to your post subject if you got to a working solution

[Ryan Blunden]

Hi everyone,

After this very revealing post, I want to do what I can to support new people coming to Django. 

Like many Django developers and supporters, I'm busy and so to make it as easy as possible to provide support in this forum, it would be great if you could append [RESOLVED] to your post subject if you got to a working solution.

This allows me and others to quickly scan the discussion list to see what needs attention.

Perhaps there is a better system I'm not aware of? Whatever it is, I just want to be able to provide help to those that need it in the most time efficient way possible.

Cheers,

Ryan

I oppose adding [RESOLVED] to the subject, this means changing the subject to a complete different string and detaching it from the thread. not sure how this would work for google groups, but many people (me included) read on gmail, it happened to me not long ago (can't remember which mailing list it was), someone added a {RESOLVED] at the end of the subject, meaning I got an email detached from the discussion.

if someone would post a message after they got a solution they could just add RESOLVED to the first line of the body and then post their conclusions on how they got there. problem is that often people go silence when they achieved the solution.

also take in consideration that some posts are discussions like this one, not answers to a specific problem.

True, it will break the thread if reading via email only.

Can you propose another way that when going to the groups posts page, you can scan and see which topics require further assistance? 

That is the problem I'm trying to solve.

like I said, one could post "RESOLVED" on the first line on a conclusion post, this way it would pop up on search results.

it is not an ideal solution like having it in the subject like forums use these days but it is the workaround that comes to my mind. my hope is that other people can give their input on this, I'm sure someone out there can come up with a better way

MUAs like Apple Mail or Thunderbird use "references" header (if present) instead of "subject" for threading.
