How do I mark a thread "[Solved ]"?

How can I set [Solved] in my topic? I don't know how to do it in this forum. I have to do it by myself? I mean I must write [Solved] in the subject by myself? Or does someone set [Solved] instead of me? I read the forum rules, I could not find about it. I might buy new glasses. :OOO

Thanks in advance.
 
Re: [Solved]

Edit the first post in the thread.

Then manually type "[Solved] " into the thread title, in front of what's already there.

There's no automated "solved" button.
 
As of 2022, I figured it out by selecting the "Edit" link at the bottom of the initial post, then back near the top, under "Title" one sees a dropdown with the default label "No Prefix". Click on that and select "Solved".
 
It seems the edit button is missing too.

Did I edit my stuff too much!!! I know I am bad for that.

Edit on newer posts works fine. So is edit feature timing out after x amount of time?
#Yup edited#
 
DutchDaemon changed a setting regarding editing. That may have something to do with it. It might be a little too strict now. We'll try to find a better solution.
 
I have no problem with it. It looks like 30 min editing time at least. Solved is tied to 'edit' on parent thread though.

If I can't put a thought on paper in that time I need to use the dang preview button.
 
I have tweaked it a little. Verified members ( >= 10 days && >= 10 posts) can edit their own posts/threads indefinitely. Registered members ( < 10 days || < 10 posts) can do so for 24 hours; until they clear the hurdle, at least.

I have had to disable deletion of own posts for now (deletion of own threads has never been allowed, because it would nuke other people's posts); we've had one too many entitled posters leaving the forums because they felt "slighted" (sigh) by a moderator/admin decision or action or remark, sometimes deleting all of their posts in the process. Screw the community, I guess?

That is considered sabotage -- it renders a load of topics entirely unusable. It is reversible (post deletions by users are always soft, posts are actually not deleted, but rather hidden), but it takes a lot of work.

Unfortunately, this behavior manifests more often with long-standing users, so it is difficult to give users with a lot of posts or karma free reign.. they're often the ones willing to spend hours nuking all of their own posts.

This is subject to re-evaluation, as always.
