## When should this be used?

> When a **problem goes away** and nobody knows enough about why that an answer would likely help anybody else, voting to close as off-topic with the "a problem that can't be reproduced" sub-reason is appropriate.

> Often, when the OP solves their own problem, people vote to close as "a problem that can't be reproduced." **That's wrong**. When the solution might help others with the same problem, the question should be answered.

This is actually totally off: http://askubuntu.com/questions/641671/firefox-cant-the-server-at-start-unbuntu-com

It was asked 18 hours ago. He replied 7 hours ago. He has not said that he can now access `start.ubuntu.com`. I can't see anything there suggesting that his issue has been resolved.

This is another example:

[Can I change or replace Unity Launcher Dash behaviour?][2]

Okay, so it was asked a while ago. But how has it been resolved? Has anyone asked the OP if they have solved the issue?

Reminder. The only time you should use this reason is when a problem goes away, *and* the solution is not known.

[And why "again" in the title?][3]
