Where is the "Thread Solved" button

I posted a thread concerning a problem I was having with Windows 7 and the problem was solved. It was suggested I indicate the problem was solved by using the "Solved" button but I can't find it!

Hello Toglenn,

The tutorial section does not use the "Solved" check mark in it. However in the other forums, you can click on the red triangle icon with the exclamation in it, at the top right corner in the post, to report that the thread was solved. We will then be happy to mark it as so. :)

Not needed because of the Attachment Manager

WTF are you talking about?
spoiler like in kaskus.us
so we are not bothered by a large size image :o

I don't know if anyone answered your question about SPOILER tags.
You don't need them because of the Attachment Manager.Click on the picture to see the animation.
Upload Pictures 03.gif

It automatically creates a smaller sized preview.

Nope, I have no idea what you're talking about.

Some other sites don't have an Attachment Manager (like the one on this site). :geek:

Those sites normally ask/demand that large images be hidden using SPOILER tags.
This reduces the amount of scrolling required, when viewing threads.

I think he means when you type something like

Hi

it will be hidden unless you click the Show button beside it. So you can save image&text space and not have the page full.

So until I click show you can't see I typed Hi.

Need further explanation

OK so i was trying to make a tutorial and i found this page
warnsmall.png
Warning
Only members that have earned a Power User badge and above are able to create a tutorial.
Apparently i do not have the rights to make a tutorial :shock:

So, i have to get rep to make a tutorial, but why would someone give me some, if my posts are only asking for help and not providing any? Can you give rep to someone on the reply? I only found that you can give only to the creator of the thread in the top right. I'm probably missing something :confused:, so can someone post a whole screenshot?

By the way i have a nice idea for tutorial, since i am not power user yet should i send it to YOU so you can post it?
