To your query : Why the pressure to mark it solved?
From the support prospective we have around four thousand - Threads Seventeen thousand - Comments and only around eight hundred - marked as Solved. Though many threads are answered and resolved , but are not marked as solved.
The only reason we say mark the thread as solved , so that it is easy for the technicians to answer the queries of open threads and analyse the threads quickly.
We are sorry if you found it to be pressured to mark the thread as Solved.
You can take your time to discuss the forum. I would like to finish the job , I have started and not leave it half done.
