To the powers that be!
Is there any chance that a policy can be put in place to lock a thread about 24 to 48 hours after it is marked 'solved'?
Justification for request:
Once the 'solved' sign goes on a thread title some of us 'assume' that there is no need to read any of the messages. Just the highlighted one if the solution is of interest.
This puts users who have posted "I have the same problem" at a disadvantage. While it may be impolite to 'force' them to start a new thread it would help the helpers find their messages sooner.
