Hi Guys,
I was just thinking how useful it would be to have tagging of posts like I've seen on some other forums.
Basically when a new post is created in the 'Support' sub forum it automatically gets an [Open] tag at the front of the title.
Then when the question is answered the OP or a Mod has the option to mark the post as Answered/Solved and the Tag at the front of the title get changed (or an icon changes to display the state)
I think this would be quite useful in the XBMC forums since there are always so many questions, if you looking to give answers you spend half your time reading through posts to see they are already resolved.
Or if your looking for answers you can spend your time reading unanswered questions relating to your problem.. you get the idea
Examples of different implementations here;
