At least to most common 5 European languages

And an image. I will then promote it to a sticky or announcement within that forum.

@richb Ok, For now, I've written the text. And I can edit and add the image .. (If it's ok)

Announcement

Dear forum members:

As you may have already noticed, there's a new option in the forum:

A new check-mark icon appears on posts "if you are the starter of the topic" to mark the thread as "solved". And you can click any of the check-mark icons (especially on one of them that was useful for the solution according to you, or just the one at post #1 , your own post..).

By the way: Please mark the thread when you think it's solved , that will help other people when searching.


There's also another option : when you begin typing the username of a forum member with @ a tiny list will appear and you can select that , he/she will be notified as " you were mentioned in this thread by xxx ".

Example:

@Huckleberry Finn ... ...

@richb I hope I didn't misunderstand you :)

Or, shall I make it short ?

Suggestions marked in red above.

ok :)

Are you going to add the image?

Ah, yes.. but for now I haven't taken .. I'll edit them all (if possible)

@richb Meanwhile, the last ones : One is Portuguese and the other Brasil (they look similar)

OK. They are editable by you. I have promoted them to Announcements in the forum. So they will show at the top.

Thank you. (I hope they're not too much :) )

In fact, I'd do even Japanese & Chinese but the characters look weird as squares , so I gave up them :)

LOL. They did overwhelm Recent Posts. But that is OK. I started to promote them in the main Other Languages Forum but stopped as they take over the Announcement Block. But they are in Announcements of the individual language forums.
