Resolved How do I mark my thread to show that the problem has been solved?

[Mojo1019]

I was wondering how to mark my old treads as resolved so I wet to this support page, but it wasn't helpful and probably has been not updated in a while.

"Click the Gear icon at the top right of the first post" -> the gear has been replaced with an icon that shows three dots.
"Click on Edit Title." -> it doesn't exist anymore. Now the option in the menu are "Edit thread" and "Create poll".
"Change the drop-down in front of the thread title to Resolved." -> if I click "Edit thread" (Edit Title has been replaced) It doesn't show any "drop-down in front of the thread title". Image attached.

And if I try to edit the thread using the normal "Edit" button, there is't a "drop-down in front of the thread title" anyway. So, I think this page should be updated, and how could I mark my thread to show that the problem has been solved?

Thank you!

Thanks for pointing out that outdated support page. I'll pass that along to get it fixed. It looks like it never got updated when the forum moved to XenForo software.

You are in the right spot though, but the problem is there are no prefixes enabled for the Catalina forum, so nothing shows where that dropdown would normally be. My screenshot is from the Mojave forum. I'll pass this along also.

The Resolved prefix is now available in the Catalina forum, and we'll get the FAQ update as soon as we can. Thanks for pointing it out.

The FAQ is updated.

It didn't give me a "resolved" option in Catalina tonight. I got around it by editing the title.

I take it you meant "while running Catalina", rather than "in the Catalina forum".

The only recent thread of yours with "Resolved" in the title is here:

Window Resizing Question - Resolved

A really novice question, I suspect. I often open Finder in order to use the icon there to turn off my backup drive before I move my MacBook. And the icon is clear at the bottom of the Finder window. And I always have to drag the bottom border of the Finder window down in order to bring it...

It's in the Mac Basics forum, not the Catalina forum.

As a test, I gave it the Resolved prefix, and it appears to work. Can you recheck whether you can change the thread's prefix? If so, I'll leave the Resolved prefix and edit the title.

Since the problem may be a bug in the browser you were using, it may help us narrow the problem down if you posted the exact name and version, along with the exact OS version.

I was/am using Safari 13.1.1. And yes, the post was in the Basics forum. I mentioned Catalina because that is the OS I am running. Just tried editing my original post again and now it works!! However, last night when I posted, I would select the three dots and there was no option to edit the title. Today there is. And I promise I hadn't been drinking!! Thanks for the help!
