How to mark topic abandoned/completed? SOLVED

[Ollder]

Hi,
after Shane, on Aug. 8. decided my problem of "Windows update error 800B0100, 80073712, 80246007, 80070002" to be solved (!?!), I have continued alone fighting this issue,  without any success worth mentioning. I still cannot use Windows' own backup but I have installed Macrium's and Tera Byte's system image softwares, so I now can take steps back every now and then.

Now, like I said in my later post on that chain, I don't blame anyone in giving up (I'm quite near by myself too). On the contrary, I really appreciate the unselfish work you do to help us 'dummies'. But now I just want to know if I have to mark my topic completed somehow. How?  (I'm sure, there's instructions visible but have not noticed - and most of time my PC is in a nonworking condition)

I opened a new topic, for it seems to me that my original topic is not valid anymore.

Go back to your original thread and in the opening post, select modify, then add "SOLVED" to the thread title, and/ or select "Topic Solved" from the message icon dropdown menu.

OK, thanks.
I do the same to this.

Just going back through your main thread, it looks far from Solved - what have you done since your last post in that thread to consider the problem solved ?
