phpBB Topic Solved Extension (Kerogs Update)

Allows posting questions, and accepting answers as solved.

Solved indicators will be shown next to titles throughout forum and topic views. Mostly ideal for support forums, but can be customized for marking topics for other purposes such as classifieds being marked as sold.

This is not the original extension. The original Topic Solved extension was created by Bryan Petty and Jari Kanerva. This fork has been updated by Kerogs to work with recent phpBB versions and the Zeina style.
