1. Make a thread asking a question or explaining a problem. It should be polite, non-repetitive (use the search!), and give enough information. See http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopi ... =40&t=2661 if you don't know what I mean. (*waits for tomatoes to be thrown*)
2. Wait patiently for friendly community members to answer said question or give advice for said problem.
3. Scroll down through all the friendly responses. If/when you find the best answer, mark this thread as solved. There's a little green checkbox. Click it.

4. The page will refresh. Now all those green checkboxes will change to red ones, and a [SOLVED] tag will be displayed after the topic. If you click on the [SOLVED] text, it'll go right the most appropriate answer as well. Neat!

Now the beautiful thing is that we actually have a link in the front to search for Unsolved threads. If we get people to use this on a regular basis, then it'll make the people who like to do support have a much easier to time to find threads that are in desperate need to help and to weed out the ones that have already been helped.
Go off and help (or be helped)!
