Assumed is appropriate when solved but I’ve had issues before, search them, find the topics closed and still need help, IMO closed should be reserved for an offensive post where replies are not desired.
Solved problems can arise again with other users, builds, plug-ins etc
Sure, except typically you want your forum repaired and that would cause delays
This is all well written, tough to argue, however I’ve had to read through long posts before where near the top the solution seems available and then down its found it is not, sometimes never is.
I’d have to say there never a single size fits all solution, but would like to see more options to not close threads, the auto bump is, IMO, for forums with small communities and a need for more to discuss, to maintain life, I doubt its needed at all here.
Therefore aside from offensive posts even solved ones should be allowed to die out on their own.
