How to mark your thread as SOLVED

Some helpful person on the Ubuntu forums has just solved that issue that has been causing you to tear your hair out. You want to proclaim to the world that everything is now peachy, but you're not sure how and you don't want to embarrass yourself on the forums by declaring your undying love for the aforementioned resolver. Well there is a simple way. Find your thread, and at the bottom of the page, click the ""Edit Tags"" link on the right side.

Now this has a twofold use;

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
