Marking closed topic as solved?

Other Website and services
1

I try and be a good forum citizen but I let time get away from me and let a topic close without marking a solved.

The feature described here:

How to mark your topic as 'resolved'

Doesn’t appear (probably because its closed.) I also am unable to edit the title (even though I am OP.)

The topic in question is here:

Is there a way I am not seeing to marked closed topics as resolved? Could/would a moderator do so for me? Or should I just try and be more mindful moving forward.

Thank you!

I know this topic title is specific for closed topics but I wanna mention I am also unable to edit the title of an open topic of mine:

Graphical session crashes every min or so (Plasma6/sddm issue?)

I DID have the ability to edit at one point (I did so to fix the tags) but now I don’t- no pencil icon by tittle.

Do I just lack the privileges/trust to edit a post that has been replied to?

As you may have read the forum had some bad time recently.

I see also that all the links got a “2” added to them, probably due to restored content from the emergency instance.

I fixed the links in this discussion and marked the mentioned topic as solved.

Also please note that by default Discourse sets a grace period when the users can edit their messages etc.
Not sure about the user can’t mark topics as solved once it’s automatically closed. Probably it is like that.

Thank you @rugyada ! Either the issues you were describing are resolving themselves, I am earning the reputation/trust to mark solutions or whatever you did dislodged whatever hold up I was having but I am now able to mark solutions.

Thank you for helping get that problematic topic closed!
