You don't have to - a mod can always do it. (I moved it.) But if you really want to, use the small "edit" link up next to your header to move to the Solved folder.

Thanks lobster.
Why does it say "is cold" after your name?

If you are a moderator you can add words after your name. I was really cold the day I added "is cold." The comma is unnecessary but can't be gotten rid of. I am still cold...expect to remain cold for the remainder of winter...
