Hello all. I made a forum post and the helpful community solved the problem I was having. DaniWeb states "Please remember to mark the post solved if your question is answered Thank You" at the bottom of the post. How do I mark the post as solved? Thank you for your help.

A brief clarification tied to the existing replies: the forum provides a thread-owner control that flags a topic as solved, which is why pointed out a button near the thread controls and found that Chrome showed the controls when Firefox did not. ‘s suggestion about plugins/toolbars is on target — element-blocking extensions, custom themes or UI scaling often hide small page controls.

Typical behavior and quick checklist:

  • The original poster (thread owner) will normally see an extra control (button or link) in the thread controls or near the bottom of the first post to mark the topic solved.
  • Confirm the thread is viewed while logged in with the same account that opened it; non-owners won’t see the control.
  • If the control is missing in one browser, try another browser or a private/incognito window to rule out extensions.

Practical troubleshooting steps that address the Firefox issue mentioned here:

  • Restart Firefox with add-ons disabled (Troubleshoot/Safe Mode from the Help menu) to see if an extension is hiding the control.
  • Temporarily disable content blockers or user-style/user-script extensions (NoScript, uBlock/Adblock, Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey, userChrome/userContent CSS).
  • Reset browser zoom to 100% and check for toolbars or window-width issues that push UI elements off-screen.
  • Use Developer Tools (Inspect Element) to check whether the “mark solved” element exists but is visually hidden.

Fallbacks and good practices: if the control cannot be made visible, marking the topic solved from another browser (as did) or editing the thread title to include “[SOLVED]” and posting a final reply summarizing the fix will help future readers. If none of those are possible, site staff or moderators can assist with marking the thread solved.

If you are the owner of the thread, you should see a large "button" right next to Watch this article at the bottom of the page.

I figured out what the issue is. When I am visiting this page using Firefox, the buttons do not appear. But when I use Chrome, the buttons do appear. I will now mark this post as solved (using Chrome of course). Thank you for your help :-)

Do you have weird plugins or toolbars that might be hiding the buttons in FF?
