Details

(Whiteboard: u=contributor c=questions p=2)

Actual behavior:

- Solution is chosen on a thread that it's in the second page
- Thread is moved to the first position 

Proposed behavior:

- Solution is chosen on a thread that it's on the second page
- Thread doesn't change position. 

I understand that this is because a solution is considered an update to the thread and the list is ordered by "last update" instead of "last answer".

Did we get any agreement on this proposal? It makes sense to me.
This is pretty disruptive for contributors. Maybe we should change the whole bumping behavior to only mark as "updated" when there's a reply and simplify the logic (i think this is the last piece that marks the thread as updated though)

Agreed. I think it should only bump on a new reply and nothing else (edits, solving, voting, etc should not bump)
