Option to mark "solution" doesn't appear on some topics?

I wanted to mark a solution / something as solved in this post, but I noticed the option to mark any as such doesn’t appear on it anywhere, even though it appears in other topics I’ve made, and of similar length. I do not know why.

Is this a Discourse thing, a mod thing, or something else?

It’s not that big of a deal, but I do like giving credit where credit is due. Plus it helps SEO for everybody involved.

Agreed, noticed the same a couple of days ago :+1:

Hello, Administrators get to decide which topics have solutions enabled on them so if they don’t want the Community topic to have a solution, as it probably wouldn’t be needed, they can disabled it.

Cool. Thanks for the info!

Still odd though, the topic I’m referencing was under the Gemini API category which I figured would have it on by default. Strange.

Aw well, no worries!

Yeah, the Gemini API category needs to have one. It would be nice if you could compile a list of all categories that do not have Solutions enabled but need solutions enabled to give to staff. I would do this myself but I am currently trying to figure out how to use a stenographer keyboard, which is literally it’s own language no joke, so I can type 300 WPM :laughing:.

Oh, funny I know stenography keyboards! I learned about how to use them in Linguistics and Law class :rofl:. They’re pretty wild, but pretty neat.

Now, if you want to be a true l33t you should try this beast out:

It’s literally banned from use in some places because it types too fast :laughing:. If I had money to shill I’ve always wanted to buy this.

Idk if you already bought one of those keyboards, but maybe give this one a try and see how that works for ya lol

I decided to stick with Plover theory for now :joy: so I can practice on a QWERTY keyboard to start.

Each of these keyboards uses a unique theory of how they work but I have read that once you learn one it’s easy to move over, I will keep this on my list.
