For some reason, when I created it, I allowed topics in the Feature Requests category to be marked as “solved”.

what about in cases when the functionality already exists, but the user who made the request didn’t know about it? (eg. https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/quicker-access-to-all-my-projects/3439 )

I thought “solved” was really useful since it adds the post snippet in the top of the topic that explains exactly what feature was added. And, it helps distinguish between feature requests that were implemented and those that were not.

Cool, I will return it and I apologize for not asking for feedback first.
