marking as a topic as answered

How do you mark a topic here as answered. Does an admin have to do it?

I have a post at http://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/275683-need-php-coder-for-new-website/ that I don't need any more people for I would also like to remove my skype and AIM and just leave my email since I keep getting people asking me about this but i don't need any more people.

You put your contact information into a public website and are surprised that people are contacting you. You could have simple asked people to send you a PM on this site. I am surprised that someone who is supposedly in the "web" business would do such a thing.

 

Anyway, to answer your questions:

 

There is no "Marked Solved" option in the Freelancing board because it is not a help forum.

 

The ability to edit a post is only available for a limited time (30 minutes?). After that it cannot be edited by the user. This is so someone doesn't change/remove posts in the future. One of the draws of a help forum is previously answered questions which come up in search results for Google and such. If users could remove or modify the original posts months/years later it would negatively impact that ability.

 

Part of the forum rules that you agreed to when you signed up was that any content you post is the property of PHP Freaks. You can make a request to one of the moderators to see if they are willing to help you.

That forum does have the option enabled. You cannot mark it solved on the original post, only on subsequent posts.

Oh, interesting. So someone has to reply first. Well anyways now I know.
