Hi,
do you plan to let topics be labeled as "question" with a possibility to flag them as answered and search between answered and unanswered ones easily.
It was really repelling when visiting logstash-user google groups only occasionally.
Cheers

I like this idea - especially considering that we're already seeing the majority of topics being posted are questions. Organizing via tags would help ease managing such a large subset of questions within disparate categories.
It would just be a matter of enabling the ability to tag topics. One concern would be that managing mis-labeled topics would become a burden, but I think crowdsourcing it - which is how Discourse works with user tagging anyway - and leaving the user level requirement in place would alleviate that problem.
@Leslie_Hawthorn, thoughts? /cc @kimchy

My recommendation here is to hold tight 3-4 weeks, this is planned:
> **[Solved Button Plugin](https://meta.discourse.org/t/solved-button-plugin/28129)**
>
> SEE: Customers often ask us for a “solved button” feature. This has been discussed a few times on meta. #7082 #26070 We are going to embark on building an official “Solved Button” I wanted to make sure it is very well specified prior. Prior Art...
In fact I started working on it, once its ready it will be available here.

I like this solution - clean, visually appealing and will be familiar for folks using Discourse based forums elsewhere. ++ on sitting tight.
