Suggestion: Lock help/support threads, editing the title with a tag of [Resolved], [Duplicate], or something classifying their status. Then, when threads are locked, moved them to a subforum called "Closed Issues". This would allow for quick indexing of help/support threads.
Reason: Rarely do I see help/support threads bumped due to a recurring issue. Most people don't take the time to look through the section, and then in turn just end up posting a more modern version of the same question or bug report. Locking threads after they are resolved by either a user, mod, or Andrew would not only allow for the aforementioned quick indexing, but also would allow for the mods/admins to view issues in progress or that need attending to.
Any Other Information: This would require some decent front-end work by the staff team, but when accomplished, could help things run smoothly - much like the current format of the Ban Appeals and Complaints section.

I suppose this could only be beneficial, and should eventually implemented, yet I think there are other staff issues to prioritize.

+1 I'm all for more organization.

Maybe it would be possible to use xenForo thread tags (like the "Sticky" tag) instead of actual thread title modifications?
Either way, +314.-

@KooJo I'm guessing you know something about this? Maybe? Possibly? There's a chance?

It's more than possible to set up multiple prefixes, even just for certain forum sections. Really easy, too. They're clickable, making it so that you can quickly view one prefix.
TBH, I wouldn't do a separate forum section. Just using prefixes alone would highly boost organization and quick reading.-

+1 like that, but like idea of seperating tutorials from help and bugs even more

I like the prefixes idea and I'll see what I can do about getting it implemented but I think @JamieSinn has already been pushing for them to no avail.
A new subforum for closed issues really has no benefits though - it also goes against our current "don't close threads" policy.-

Plus, prefixes really aren't even needed; the people who resolve the issues generally have enough forum power to change the title on threads. A simple [Resolved] in front of the title will provide much easier searching - just type "Resolved" and click the "Search titles" checkbox.-

The whole argument against locking help/support threads is that "someone else may have the same issue". But then, when was the last time someone bumped a help/support thread? Players are much more inclined to create their own thread than go through the hassle of looking for a thread with the same issue.
This really just makes sure bug reports are handled more quickly and adds more cleanliness to the forums as a whole - These two aspects are not what the current system offers. -
