Suggestion: Remove solved threads from the 0 reply list


This is am minor nitpick. When a user makes a thread asking for help, but then figures out the issue on their own soon after they sometimes will mark the thread as "Solved" as they should. However this does not mean they will make a second post and this thread will remain on the 0 reply list until someone does post in it even if it does not add any content.

So could threads that are marked as "Solved" be removed from the 0 reply list without requiring a dummy post?

Example.

In these cases they should make a second post, so that others can benefit from the solution they found. If they don't, feel free to ask in thread.

Just an observation, but often the OP will edit the opening post to include details on the solution.

In that case a "thank you" seem appropriate if there are no follow-up questions.

I personally like the way it is setup now. For example if someone announces a new release or something, it keeps snapping back and more people see it. And anything else is easy to bump.
