Description of the idea: On the current support section of the forums, people don't always post or mark the solution which helped them fix the problem they were having. This addon would allow for replies to threads to be marked as 'Best Answer' by the OP. Threads posted in the support section would also have a red or green symbol next to them to indicate whether it's been resolved or not, making it easier and quicker for people to find a potential solution.
Why should this be added? (pros):

Example of the OP marking a reply as the solution / best answer. Could extend it so staff can also mark and reply as the best answer on the support section (useful for helpers).
Why should this be added? (pros):
- The addon is free and open-source (https://xenforo.com/community/resources/question-threads.5767/)
- It would allow people to go back to older threads and actually know what the answer is (similar to the LTT forums or stackoverflow)
- Make the support section of the forums much easier to manage
What negatives could this have? (cons):
- I'm not entirely sure how XenForo works but may be difficult to implement depending on how the addon is structured.
