okay, quite simple, but there should be an option to set a forum post to resolved

how would it work?
if you posted a forum in “help with scripts”, “questions about scratch”, “suggestions” and “bugs and glitches” (maybe some others), you or an admin would be able to set a forum post to “resolved” which would lock the post because a valid answer was given, it would also show up with the forum post data that you can see when clicking on a post

why should this be added?
a lot of people do not read other answers while responding to a forum post, leading to clutter in the comment section of that post, this would kind of act like a barrier to that

by the way, this would NOT replace posts getting locked by admins, as posts should still be lockable by admins if, for example a forum is a duplicate

You can already manually lock a post that you made, it just has to be a day after the topic is made.

oh, whoops, i didnt know that, what icon is it?

it would be good to have a resolved label. because it will stop people posting on resolved topic

It's the “Close topic” button. It appears near the “submit” button 24 hours after you make your topic.

If it's resolved and you can't close it yet, you can edit the title to say "[resolved]" or something like that. Or you can just use the Report button and ask a moderator to close it for you.

Maybe a tick on a post and it marks that part as the answer and shows it on op

in all seriousness, though, closing a topic generally marks it as “resolved”. I don't support this suggestion since it's pretty much already implemented in another way.
