Why can't I mark threads as solved anymore?

This is an issue we need to work on. There's a way to add prefixes to threads that we thought would replace the solved tags, but unfortunately, it seems only the mentors can get to the tools to change those prefixes once a thread has been created (it's one of our editing tools). So, either Greg needs to find a way to make those accessible to regular members, or a way to reimplement the old method of adding solved tags. We'll need some patience on this issue, as there are several others Greg is working on already.

OK, its not really a major problem but was a nice feature. (You can mark this thread as SOLVED now :) )
