[Solved] Mark a topic as [Solved]

How in blue blazes can I put [solved] in a subject line of a post I've made. Do I have to turn 6 times widdershins to get an edit prompt or whatever?
(I strongly believe this is a very weak link in the forum interface. A right click in the subject box ought to bring up an edit option.)

How can I put [Solved] in a subject line of a post I've made?

This difficulty occurs when you do not read (or if you forget content in) the Survival Guide where it explains what to do. There's a picture with an arrow and a red box to highlight the Edit button. Many forum volunteers include a summary of this information in their reply, as I do, below. If you find the procedure to be difficult, just reply in the topic that the problem is solved and a moderator will mark the topic for you. For consistency we prefer [Solved] over Solved or [solved] or (Solved). If you use one of the latter, a moderator will change it later. You can practice with this topic.

A right click in the subject box ought to bring up an edit option.

The forum uses off-the-shelf software for the website. We can only provide the tools that the PHPBB software provides.


If this solved your problem please go to your first post use the Edit ☐ button and add [Solved] to the start of the Subject field. Select the green checkmark icon at the same time.
