I think I found a small bug: if a reply is marked as accepted but is moved to another/new topic, the initial topic remains marked as resolved on the index page, yet there is no resolved post anymore.

And the moved reply remains marked as accepted.

This is a known issue, #pr-welcome

Workaround accept/unaccept on both topics
