Allow multiple replies to be selected as "good answers"
Often there is more than one solution for a problem.
And sometimes the discussion splits into two different questions.
For those cases, it would be nice to be able to select multiple replies as "good answers".
Example:
I found an issue (thread)
- We need a solution for the code. (comment)
- - Code Solution (comment reply: good answer)
- We need a solution for the UI. (comment)
- - UI Solution (comment reply: good answer)
In these cases it would be nice to be able to select multiple replies as good answers. Maybe this could be an option for each forum to enable/disable as they wish?

A comment can, in the (distant?) future, be changed to a task, with a Doing status: Planned, Doing, Done. Or to a question, with an answer selected in the sub thread with the comment as its root. So, in your example, Talkyard could understand that "We need a solution for the code" is a question waiting for an answer, and it'd appear in some "Waiting for an answer" list, so as not to be forgotten. (Although it's "just" a comment, not a page.)
In this way, one can create one main page for a small project, and then add comments for a few separate tasks or questions to be done or answered, as part of that project. Then one's co-workers can mark these comments as done, as the project progresses. Once the last comment has been marked as Done, the software asks: "Do you want to mark this whole page as Done? [Yes] [Not now]".
(Not happening the nearest time, just thinking about the future database structure, making some changes anyway.)
