By never resolving your mother effing troubleshooting posts!!!!

Holy shit, why do I even bother searching this damn place? It seems every time I have a problem I will do a search instead of 'newbing out' and posting a fresh troubleshooting thread. I'll then start checking appropriate search results. Read a few pages, then BAM! It ends unceremoniously. Okay then, onto the next one...same thing! Over and over and over. I've went through this with my Paperboy, with a K7000 monitor issue, and now a G07 issue just in the last few weeks. Is it so damn hard to come back to a thread were people thanklessly help you and say "Fixed it. thanks!", or post other relevant info?

In case anyone is wondering:
G07 chassis - vertical collapse. Known good tube. I 'think' I have my answer now, but couldn't be entirely sure since some losers won't report testing/repairing results.
 
I always try to report back. I think I've even gotten the comment "hey, you actually followed up - no one does that!"
 
I have been on some boards that when a problem is resolved tHat they ask you to post how it was fixed and then they can mark the thread resolved.

It would just be nice if the person posting the problem could follow up at the end so the next guy could see how it was fixed. I do have to say out of the many boards i read, (cars, computers, etc) people really are helpful here and thats nice to see.

This would be nice if we could mark the thread resolved and then when you do a search you could do a "search only resolved threads" function.
 
We could have done that with tags, but, well, the tags were abused and now pretty much useless.
