I have a suggestion for marking threads as solved. This may be available already, but I don't know how on here to do it. If we could mark a specific response to a thread as the solution, I think that will help people find answers to common questions a little faster.

Other tech support websites do this. However, it was my decision awhile ago not to specifically point out an individual post as being the "best answer" because, often times, it is the help of multiple people, engaged in a back-and-forth discussion, that brings the solution. Therefore, when a thread is marked as solved, everyone except the original poster whom contributed up to that point gets credit to their Solved Thread statistic. You can rate individual posts with the voting system or reputation system.

Ok, that logic works. Give credit where credit is due.
