I volunteered late and jumped directly to admin role if I remember right :P ... so missed the intermediate step I guess.

So you are missing the "Set post status to closed" option when you click edit on the thread starter post?
There are three levels of access on the forum, normal - moderator and admin. Yours and chetankjains moderation options should be the same, in theory at least :)

I will check again and come back to you

I'm owner of Qt German group and therefore moderator in its forum, I do not have the "set post to closed" option either, when I click on the edit link for the thread starter post.

That's what I see when I click on edit on the first entry of "http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/2496":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/2496:

Isn't chetankjains admin in the forum? or is he moderator?
-
Oh, my apologies, chetankjain is an administrator of the forum and not a moderator. That explains the difference.

Ok, so for language forums, we need to contact admins (that might not be in the group forum) to close a thread, right?

Correct. We will add some guidelines on when closing a thread is the right thing to do. Please also see this thread for some background: http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/2272

To close thread you can just post a comment against the thread and one of the admins will close it. Tobias, Denis and me have these rights along with the super admins (the devnet team)
