As an alternative to marking multiple posts as the solution, or adding an extra “solved” post stating that the topic has been solved, would it be possible to have a tick icon on the original post so that when selected:
- the topic gets a tick in the topic list; and
- the original post says “This topic has been solved” (rather than “Solved by x in post #n”)?
Thanks for considering this.

Isn’t that what this is?

So basically you want to allow “mark as solution” on the first post ?

Yes to both questions 🙂

I have had folks edit their first post with the solution they figured out themselves rather than making a reply and marking that as solved. So this seems like a good idea

I have the same request: how can I mark a one-post topic as solved, for example the [category About post](https://forum.weaviate.io/t/about-the-support-category/15)? We’re trying to reach “Inbox zero” on our Support category, and [that topic looks unanswered](https://forum.weaviate.io/c/support/6?ascending=true&order=posts).

It would be better if the unanswered filter would just skip pinned posts. In your case
```plaintext
.topic-list-item:not(.status-solved).pinned {
background: inherit;
.topic-status svg {
display: none;
}
}
```
would do most of the trick by removing the background color and hiding the empty checkbox for all pinned topics.

Thanks, that works great for non-staff member! Staff members see the topic as unpinned for them, so the `pinned` class isn’t there on the ``…

Looking at search results today – a year and a half after the proposal in this topic, the then-future me came up with the same idea at [Mark topic as solved without specifying solution post](https://meta.discourse.org/t/mark-topic-as-solved-without-specifying-solution-post/335397)…
