Well there are normally more then one way to do something what happens when some one resolves your post but not necessarily in the best possible way, it works so you close the post from then no one can come along and say yes that works but i have a much better way to do it.....
Also most people who ask questions would never get round to marking it resolved.
Besides it makes for no interesting decision on any subject what if 3 or 4 other people wanted to jump in and say thanks i never knew that but what about this......
I've seen this done at a couple of other places it always comes down after a couple of days it's a nice idea in principle but in practice it just doesn't work that well.
Ill put the idea up in the mods forum it might just go up for a trial run, thanks for the suggestion
