[QUOTE="Automate, post: 4960187, member: 340712"] This is again probably something that vBulletin might not be able to do comfortably at the moment, but here goes anyway. It would be easier to keep track of the ID threads if whenever a positive ID is found for a babe (or all the babes if a thread has several requests), the corresponding thread would be marked [B][identified][/B] or something similar that indicates that an ID has been found. Of course it will never work with the current implementation, because the moderators are the only ones that could change the thread title in this manner. They would be swamped with requests to mark threads solved. No, the only way it would even remotely work is if there would be some way to give the thread starter the ability to add the designation [identified] to the thread title (and nothing else). An option to do this without actually changing the title would be to add a boolean extra data value to a thread ID that would tell the board software to render the identification string as a prefix to the thread title, if the value is "true". However, I understand that this would probably require adding a boolean column to the database (and a program to check that value and render that text if a thread ID is marked with it) and in that case I suppose that this will never happen. On the other hand, if vBulletin happens to have some sort of corresponding functionality already but it's just not used at the moment.. It would be possible to do using that (I don't know much about what vBulletin can or can't do when it comes to details). Another option would be to check the thread tags and if one of the tags would be set to "solved" or "identified" then it would render that information as a prefix to the thread title. Just thinking (or rather, writing) out loud again. [/QUOTE]
