I also have a need for this functionality. [I already use subcategories to subdivide my mobile tech site down to subcategories (e.g. tablets-\>Windows x86 tablets-\> topics tagged with model and manufacturer).](https://forum.techandtiny.com/c/tablets) So that leaves me two options: enabling solved on all categories or adding a non-vendor specific troubleshooting and purchases question subcategory (e.g. tablets-\>troubleshooting and purchasing advice). This is hardly intuitive, though. What I really wish is a topic could be made converted into a [question-and-answer forum](https://meta.discourse.org/t/question-answer-plugin/56032) (which the linked plugin does quite handedly) but also with solved functionality via a tag. That would be the ideal solution: marked as solved enabled via tagging.
