Something I don't yet understand about this forum is how "solutions" are chosen.  I would think that it would be up to the OP of a thread, or perhaps voting by the members, but it seems that a majority of the time the moderator replies are automatically designated as solution.😕  Thankfully, there is(or at least has been) an option to remove that designation when appropriate, but I can't see how to pick one that's clearly the solution & set it as such.  Here's a screenshot of what I would select as solution to the issue in this thread's original post... if it would let me:

...but, as you(hopefully) can see, there's no option for that in the drop-down menu.  I supposed it's possible, though I don't remember, that I already told the system that the reply was NOT the solution(which I would have done at the time I first read it due to the fact it was already designated as solution before I had a chance to implement the advised changes!), but I feel it would be pretty stupid if that made it so that that reply could NEVER be re-designated as solution.  That would be like saying people don't change their minds, which we all can agree would be pure lunacy.

 

@TannerPandora  or others, do tell?

@FrostLab Thanks so much for pointing that out.

There are times where I've noticed some of our friends around the Community may inadvertently mark a message as a solution when it really shouldn't be.

I've gone ahead and marked the correct reply as the solution on that thread.
