Just curious,

What do the ‘Most Solutions’ stand for in the Member link on top of the page? Did I and two other solve something?
 
I couldn't find it at first but you have to actually click on "Members" to go to the Members page as the "Most Solutions" option is not listed in the drop down menu for "Members", at least not on the "Default style new" style view that I'm using. On a side note FYI for those not aware, your style view, aka forum skin, can be found at the very bottom left of the page and gives you several options for how the forum looks, functions, and is laid out so it allows you to have some control in tweaking various things to your preferences.

This version of the forum software allows a thread creator to set up their thread in such a way (I think they have to intentionally do it anyway) that the posts can be voted on by the members as being a solution to the question the OP asked when they feel that is the case, or something along those lines. These would seem to be the threads where you see a larger space than normal between the first post and the rest of the posts that follow, and of course where on the right side of the posts it has the up (^) and down arrows for being able to vote on the posts.

I would presume that "Most Solutions" is just keeping track of who has had the most posts chosen as a/the solution for a thread question. Very few threads are set up this way and very few people vote when they are, so who has what as far as solutions go is probably mostly meaningless at this moment since the whole feature sees little use because the majority haven't noticed it and don't know it exists, don't understand it, or just choose not to use it or do any voting due to laziness or personal preference or because nobody else does either.

The thread below is a good example of one like I was talking about with the different thread layout that has the larger space between the first post and the rest, and where you can see the up and down voting arrow options beside each post. They really should put the word "vote" underneath the arrows or something to make their purpose more obvious to more people though.
