Then click "Mark this thread as solved". This will marks your thread as solved.

Marking a Thread as Solved has multiple useful outcomes;

1. It lets the person who answered your thread know that everything is working;

2. It lets other people searching the forums know that this thread provides a working solution (at least to the original poster) for their problem;

3. It saves people who try to help others in the Ubuntu Forums from wasting their time looking at threads that are already solved. This means that they can spend more time working on unsolved threads which helps everyone in the forums.
