How do you come to know a thread has been closed
-
QtK: Chetankjain, Denis and I requested admin rights and we got them. You have to request them explicitly. It does not make sense to hand out admin rights to people who do not want them in the first place.
-
Again about topic of thread. I think that notification about thread closing will be helpful for anyone who is subscribed to thread (by email).
-
xsacha: The FAQ is imported from the support DB on a regular basis. So all we can do is ask the support team to fix the texts:-(
-
No offense to them but I didn't imagine it was from a support DB. I thought it must have been forum users who added this. With all the mis-formatting and so on.
Maybe it was because they added it when code tags weren't properly supported or something.
Or is this a conversion problem with moving it from support DB to here?Is there any way to access the support DB? Is it hosted somewhere else or it's internal?
-
xsacha, it is internal of course :) it is the maintained db used by Qt support AFAIK.
-
xsacha: That happens when you use a database that was originally meant to be purely internal:-(
Add to that the issue of moving from some format internal to the database to HTML. I am sure some of the issues are due to the conversion script.
-
Have you ever thought of having it the other way around? Have admins here add/edit FAQs and then send that over to the internal Qt Support?
I guess you guys need it to be perfect internally as it is used for commercial customers. I can't see why, with admins and good moderation, it can't be a higher quality using wiki style contributions though. -
A very "loud" indicator of closed thread would be great... And it would be even better if it could used on searches... Someone looking for answers would start by the ones that the search criteria matches and are flagged as closed. Someone looking to help would concentrate on threads that are not marked as closed.

Just created a suggestion on bugs:
