Two related topics created since this one:  
(They are about unanswered topics but I think that unsolved would be better.)

> [@Put Questions with 0 answers on top](https://discourse.processing.org/t/put-questions-with-0-answers-on-top/4802):
>
> I think it Would be better to have unanswered questions always be at the top, so that questions don‘t just die away unanswered. And if a question is unanswered for more than a week, Even though it was at the top, then just let it Go Down like they do now, or inform the Poster, that no answer was found.

> [@Unanswered Topics Button](https://discourse.processing.org/t/unanswered-topics-button/1789):
>
> “Unanswered” Button This would be like the “Latest” and “Top” headers at the top of the page except it would say something like “Unanswered”. It would link to a page listing all topics without replies. This would be useful for people posting a topic that didn’t/doesn’t get seen by many people and hasn’t got any replies and also useful for anyone looking for a new discussion. Possible problems: There might already be something like this? (though I couldn’t find anything similar) There might…

I think that only mods can mark topics as “solved”–not even the creator. 😮  
If this is the case I definitely think it should be changed.
