New Forum Feature: Question "Solved" (or "Best Answer")

[JMichaelTX]

###New Forum Feature: Question "Solved" (or "Best Answer")
In late April 2016 this new feature was released.

It provides a method for the Original Poster (OP) of a topic, which is a question or issue, to select the best reply that resolves the issue, or, IOW, the "best answer" (as used in other forums).

###How To Use

At the bottom of the post that answers or solves the question/problem as you originally stated it, simply click the "Solved" checkbox:

####The benefits of this feature are:

1. When a future reader of the original post views the question/issue, they can immediately see that it has been answered/resolved.
2. When viewing the forum topic list, the viewer can quickly see which topics have been answered/resolved.

3. OP Selects that post as "best answer"
