For very long instances of Post # 1 in a topic, it’s not immediately obvious it’s already been solved without scrolling down. As a result it would be nice if the notification could be moved to above the content in the post.
AI-generated summary
The discussion revolves around improving the visibility of solved topics in Discourse. downey suggests moving the “solved” indicator above the post content for better visibility, especially in long posts. Mittineague proposes placing it in the topic title or using the topic-after-cooked plugin-outlet, though acknowledges it might be distracting. downey clarifies they meant inserting a <p> element labeled “solved” above the post, not a mockup. BlackKnob advocates eliminating the glyph entirely in favor of an automatic tag like [solved], sharing a mockup for visual reference. codinghorror notes CSS can be used to customize the icon’s appearance. BlackKnob clarifies they want to replace the icon with tags (e.g., [solved], [closed], [poll], [wiki]) but cannot implement this without core support. The thread reflects a desire for a cleaner, more intuitive solved-topic indicator, with proposals ranging from layout tweaks to full tag-based replacement.
Into the Title?

That isn’t a horrible idea, although I’m specifically talking about the location of the current paragraph with the check-box that’s inserted into the post.
Other than in “post controls”
Where are you thinking? Mock-up?
No, I’m not going to make a mockup of something so simple. 
I just meant inserting the new “solved” <p> element above the post, not below it.
Ah, sorry, I was thinking of the check-square that appears in the “accepted answer” post, not the “solved by” in the OP
That’s in the topic-after-cooked plugin-outlet
I guess it would be easy enough to have another plugin-outlet put into the top of the OP, but IMHO that might be somewhat distracting.
AFAIK that would be the only easy alternative as the template users “cooked” as a whole.
I really like this mockup, the only strong caveat from @codinghorror is that he wants a guarantee that there is no more than 2 glyphs on a topic.
I am marking this as planned, cause I plan to improve this.

How about eliminating the glyph and applying an automatic tag instead?
[solved]
Please take a look at this mockup.
I really think Discourse should drop the [solved] icon in favor of an auto tag.

You could use CSS to change the icon to whatever you want.

I know I can hide the icon, what I can’t do is auto tags for: wiki, solved, poll, closed topic etc.
