Hi there Thomas

I have a question..

Is there any particular reason why you choose to use the word “Answers” instead of what is commonly use “replies”.

Just curious, that’s all

Regards

Burt

Hi @burt

This is a good hint! I changed this in the development-version of the plugin:

If you want to support the development of Asgaros Forum, you can leave a good review or donate. Thank you very much!

That’s good.. Thank you

The reason why I was asking is that normally most forum use the word reply/replies for normal forum section and answer/answers for particular forum “topic solving forums” where you can also tick the best answer to what ever was the PO question.

For example, the most popular usage that you see often is the forum for things like software issue, where a person has a problem and  people try to help by offering their solution. Once the problem is solved that post get the green tick of best answer and the topic get a “solved” added to the name. You may have seen this used in place such as stackoverflow.com but it is also very popular in other platform such as SMF, phpBB and the old Vbulletin

That could be something else you may want to look into, as is not very hard to implement (but it is not essential for a good forum).

A more important feature for a forum are the Private Messages PM, but that would be a lot more work for you..

PS

I just notice that you had already discussed the “topic status” in the GitHub #109.

If you decide to go ahead, my suggestion would be to make the option available only for selected forums (in Admin), and perhaps use “solved” or “answered” for Topic solving forum and “Resolved/Pending/In Progress” for project’s forum..
