Q: Why is there a check mark next to my thread/post?
A: The Site Feedback subforum allows the thread creator to mark a certain post as having “solved the problem”. This will help out site staff by letting them know at a glance what issues have been resolved and which ones still need to be looked at. So, if someone makes a post that solves your issue, be sure to give it a check! Here’s how to mark a post as having solved your problem.
First, click on “more options” at the bottom of the post.
