@TheBadger
Yes right place.

It shouldn't have been removed... Looks like the upgrade took it away (we had issues with the theme and bringing it to the latest version). I'll see how to get it back. Thanks for the notice.
The Compose ? link is there from the forum itself. I'll open a bug about it.
And make a second bug about that too.

Thanks for the feedback! Using something regularly makes me blind to issues like these, or I have had workarounds for so long that I don't recognise the issue. So someone pointing them out is a good thing.

Dumb question: How do add a picture for your profile? I tried into Profile->Edit->Change Picture, but it really doesn't do anything. I tried cut and paste there to no avail as well.

Hi, I believe you need to create a Gravatar account: http://en.gravatar.com/ Use the same email as your Qt forum account, and the Qt forum will automatically use your Gravatar picture.

Trying to find the 'Topic Tools' menu under my original post. Trying to set my topic to solved. I don't seem the be able to find this 'Topic Tools' menu. If it's the settings-like icon . . there’s no change to solved option there.

@Nils-A it should be the last thing on the page above the copyright text.

Out of curiosity, what browser and OS combination are you using? (trying to eliminate possible issues)

@tekojo Hi, I got some help from @Ratzz. Solved. My unconscious expected the 'Topic Tools' menu to be closer the the [Solved / Unsolved] indicator so I was looking under the Topic title instead of really down under the full topic. I use Linux mint 17 with Firefox 43.0.
Have a good day Tekojo.

@Nils As a long time participant in few forums I am little perturbed when some contributors mistake a technical knowledge exchange place with church. This in not the place to make sermons or trying to push your social opinions.

Here is a "how to " borrowed form another site:

When answering a question please:

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.

Let's work to help developers, not make them feel stupid.

Majority of contributors are not professional nor even somewhat qualified to "educate" so let's stick with resolving the issues AND at minimum follow the last line of the above .

@AnneRanch seriously? That's five years ago, four years before you joined.

Nor is it relevant to your question.

This isn't "another site", this site has a code of conduct, which's been established, reviewed and approved by a number of people and it certainly isn't under debate in this thread. If you have a specific complaint about a specific person/post bring it to the attention of the moderators directly by flagging it/them.
