Should I Mark Threads as Resolved?!

[cklester]

It looks like marking a thread in the title with "[RESOLVED]" actually changes the URL! That can't be good for SEO or other links.

Is there a better way to note that an issue was resolved, or is adding "[RESOLVED]" to the title acceptable?

I don't understand why you say it is not good for SEO. I think editing/adding "RESOLVED" to the title is very useful for the forum.

For e.g
If the thread URL was
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/how-to-set-tooltip-for-a-textfield.123227/

When you try to open the old URL, it will automatically redirected to the latest URL
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/resolved-how-to-set-tooltip-for-a-textfield.123227/

Ah! OK. That's cool. XenForo is smart like that, I guess.

Yes, the more RESOLVED threads there are, the better! I just didn't want to screw up any search engine indexing or links internal to the forum itself. But XenForo handles it well!
