What is this!?
This modification will allow you & your members (based on usergroup permissions) to mark a thread as "Solved". It will add the prefix "[SOLVED]" to the thread title, and if set in the admincp - it will also close the thread.
This mod came about, around a year ago - with this thread. But I never released it... until now.
Current Version
1.0.1
Features flagged for future version(s):
Thread starter can choose to solve a thread, and input the username of who solved it - that user would recieve rep. points. (admin-configurable amount of rep. points)
Given the above - include count of threads a user has solved in postbit & profile
Possibly figure out a way to automate everything on install - so there are no template edits.
And anything else that is suggested
Will this work on x.x.x ??
Unless otherwise stated, this will work on all 3.6 versions. I've not tested this on 3.5, but not much changed from 3.5 to 3.6 in this hack - so it should work on 3.5 as well.
Sounds cool. How do I install?

I see a problem with solved threads - if a thread is unsolved and a moderator or administrator close that thread because of any important reason, the thread opener can reopen it with using the button 'unsolve thread'.
If you delete the prefix of a solved thread in case of moderation or what else ever you will get an inconsistency and the threadstarter will get an error if he tries to unsolve that thread.
That's because the plugin uses the 'showthread_complete' hook. You could change it to 'showthread_start', should work then.

Upgrade instructions are in the first post, and the 'install.html' in the zip.

any idea?
I use substr to remove the thread prefix when it's unsolved, that could be causing the error. I'll take a look into it.
