As above, by clicking like instead of posting a contentless post, i believe i am taking the most polite action. It is common courtesy to not use more resources than you need, and to not draw attention away from others who definitely need it more.
We don’t have to agree on our interpretations, but politeness is my aim and i believe i am achieving it by my standards. I will continue to exercise this policy.
Personally, I think clicking ‘Like’ on a post as a way of indicating ‘thanks’ is fine. A followup post saying ‘yes, seems to work perfectly’ or ‘works but kinda laggy’ or ‘works but I don’t really understand why’ is cool too, but I myself would not bemoan the lack of it if a ‘Like’ has been given because I think it’s fair to assume that if the OP ‘Liked’ a post (implying they read it) but then didn’t follow up with a problem then it presumably went off without a hitch.
Writing a solution and getting neither Like nor feedback post is a little frustrating, but eh, if I got frustrated at poor forum etiquette then I’d have had an aneurism ten years ago.
Oh, I don’t mind a “Like” as a “thanks for responding”. I just also think there’s a difference between thanking someone for their effort and confirming whether or not it worked, as much for future readers’ sake as for the helper.
That… doesn’t seem like a particularly respectful way to think about people whom you’ve asked to spend time helping you. Even if we take the outlook that every interaction ultimately boils down to trying to get our egos stroked, plenty of people (myself included) like to achieve that by feeling that we’ve helped more than one other person, and the confirmation step is pretty important for that.
Just a note, we do want to eventually implement Karma across the whole community sites. Gaining it on here would be slightly different than on Answers (mainly because forums won’t have the up/down votes) this is in planning stages and not in development just yet.
It’s 2020 now, still thinking the same ? Unity answer are depreciated.
Sorry for the necro, but this is the first result thread in my search engine at the question “how to mark a thread as solved in unity forum” I’ve been using this forums for years now and I can’t see how something marked as resolved would close any discussion, this is what has been made in stackoverflow for over a decade …
I’m not the only one thinking that, the flourishing of unity feedback canals is daunting. Moreover when you finally managed to create modularity and public repos of code, you then started to stop using github issues used daily by millions of developer throuhought the world and redirected everything to “Unity forums” and Bug reports. => Exemple : https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/InputSystem/issues/1172. This is so bad … if we want to discuss issues around a code base and its usage why make it so complicated …
I don’t know how to stress that enough, as full-time and paying unity developer for more than 5 years I’m still in a very deep pain when trying to communicate around an issue or trying to find an answer.
I can’t even see which of my threads was resolved! Aiming at resolving threads would I believe, as it is shown by stackoverflow, intent people to actually try to resolve things.
Actually I’m not very keen on the propositions in the OP … I simply want to be able to rename my threads title.
I agree about the idea of being able to rename a thread. People should be able to name their posts as they please. Although I am an American, so it could just be my bald eagle freedom brain talking.
The thread is 10 years old, and now, as far as I know, you can rename threads. An example is just below this thread:
