Feature: Forum "question answered" "question not answered" list highlighting

I often browse the forum to see if there are any questions I may be able to answer. Just realized I try and look for an unanswered question by looking for a "0" in the replies field, but then realized that just because a thread may have 14 replies doesn't mean that the question has been solved yet. It could be handy to have a button that the questions author can click when their problem has been solved that visually reflects that it has been solved in the main forum page. This also may need to categorize questions as well, such as this very forum question is not really one that could be marked "answered" as it does not really require an answer... Something to maybe think through a bit more, but would be handy for those asking questions, and those browsing for questions to answer.

@Riley - I collected several feature requests (including this one) and posted them in a forum straw poll

Please see the post that James just linked above ("forum straw poll") if you haven't already. I've just posted a response that provides some detail to our current plans for the forum.
