Just a quick query…
I noticed on our hosted solution that if a post is marked as a solution it appends the text to the first post of the topic, which in turn links down to the post marked as a solution, which, in turn, displays that it was the solution.
If I go from the post back “up” (for want of a better phrase) in the hierarchy, I see a _tick_ icon against the topic, but only if the summary view is that of a sub-forum, e.g. it doesn’t seem to appear at the main root forum level.
Is this by design or something which is configurable?
Example:
- [Post](https://community.gamedev.tv/t/need-help-inverting-the-x-axis-on-my-paddle/8446)
- [Sub-Forum Containing Post](https://community.gamedev.tv/c/unity)
- [Main Forum](https://community.gamedev.tv/)
Wishing everyone a happy new year by the way… I hope it brings you happiness and good health 🙂

Yeah, the icons appear fine on the [latest](https://community.gamedev.tv/latest) view but not on the category view.

Hey @Falco,
Thanks for responding 🙂
By design or a blip?

Blip, that category design is new 😄.
Let me try a fix.

Hey @Falco,
Just wondered if there was any news on this one as of yet?

Hey @Falco,
Are there any updates on this one? I saw you liked my previous query but didnt say whether there was a fix or if one was coming? I thought from your initial reply that it was a “quick” thing but I may have misinterpreted your replt and obviously dont want to keep hounding you if its been logged somewhere as something to fix.
Cheers
Rob

Just wanted to pass on my thanks to @Falco and anyone else involved. I have seen today that the _Solution_ icon is now appearing, and, when closed, next to the _Closed_ icon also -

Many thanks - really appreciate this 🙂

Hi @Falco,
Just wanted to let you know that I spotted a minor issue, the solution icon doesn’t appear on the categories view on mobile. Desktop is fine, but not on mobile. It does appear on the other views as expected.
Here’s a screenshot to demonstrate;
I had already closed the topic and had to re-open it and close it again, as before this it didn’t show up at all on this view, despite being the top topic on the desktop view of the same. Not sure why.

Just noticed that the Solution icon is now also missing from the topic title itself when you click in on it, despite it still being marked as solved on the specific reply? A padlock does appear if it is closed.

Hi @Falco,
Just wanted to check in and ask if you had any idea of a timescale for the same fix but for mobile (as per above etc)..
Thanks in advance for an update 🙂

Hi @Falco,
Found another minor issue with the Tick icon not appearing for solved posts on the users activity page when filtering by _solved_, e.g
- [Profile - Rob - GameDev.tv](https://community.gamedev.tv/users/Rob/activity/solved)
Padlocks appear for the closed topics. No Ticks though.

I think it’s not an issue, you’re looking the **solved topic list** and you or everyone else click on **Solved** to see it.
Add the icons can be a bit redundant

Hi,
I absolutely hear what you’re saying, I suppose I was just thinking from a consistenct perspective. If there was an option for “closed” presumably I would see all the padlocks at the moment etc.

Maybe but historically we don’t do this as it is a bit redundant. Look at the new tab, you don’t see new indicators on every topic.

Just a note of thanks for fixing the tick not showing on the mobile devices. Not entirely sure when it got fixed as I’ve only just checked / tested it, but guessing it was somewhere in the last couple of months.
Really appreciated - thanks to all - wonderful support as always 🙂
