Solved: Thread Tools
What about adding all the thread tools to the top of the post sans (without) having to click on the drop-down arrow. Most new users and some old ones do not know where to go to close out a thread. I do not even need all of them moved out of there, I just would like to see "Mark Solved" moved out.

Not a bad idea.

Is "Mark Solved" presently in your menu? Some people yesterday didn't see it there. I'm assuming a fluke, incomplete loading, or javascript error.

It deffinately is under "Thread Tools." They might not have seen it if they were not logged in. It is fairly common for a new user to not see it since they are not logged in.

It's hard to know what the users see, since the mods see a while bunch of stuff under Thread Tools.

Thanks, our view is a bit "busier".

Interesting that the stuff above is the same, just the moderation tools tacked on the bottom.

I like the idea of making the "Mark Solved" button more obvious. I'm going to look into doing that during our next update.
