How to mark your thread as SOLVED

Some helpful person on the Ubuntu forums has just solved that issue that has been causing you to tear your hair out. You want to proclaim to the world that everything is now peachy, but you're not sure how and you don't want to embarrass yourself on the forums by declaring your undying love for the aforementioned resolver. Well there is a simple way. Find your thread, and at the top of the page, click the "Thread Tools" Menu and then "Mark this thread as Solved". markyourthreadssolved.png

The forum will take you to another page that tells you the thread was marked as solved and then it will take you back to the thread. This will make the topic have [SOLVED] before the title on the thread listings.
