I believe Discourse allows a topic creator to mark an answer as the solution. However it has been noted elsewhere that this feature is unavailable. Has Discourse removed it, or does it just need turning on?

It’s called Discourse Solved and is a core plugin and very much supported / working. I believe it’s been disabled on this instance (via the site settings and/or category settings).
Happy to help configure this ^^

I’ve actually seen a few threads use the feature, so it has been turned on. It just hasn’t been communicated to use it or how.
You could probably mark my answer as the solution to this thread if I’m correct haha
Ah, I wonder if it is enabled per category. It works in Community Support - Framework Community, or at least there are a few solved posts there. The system is turned off in this channel (and I think in most channels).

Yup it’s this. It’s currently only set for the Community Support section. That’s not to say I can’t turn it on for other channels - if that is something we want, I will consider it. There will be some forum changes coming in the future, I just haven’t had a chance to finalize them yet.

I’m only speaking for myself, but I tend towards the view that most channels support the concept of a “single best answer”. It’s not a major bother.

Ah! I had not spotted this was raised a few years ago:
Well that’s a blast from the past to see myself in that thread…
It’s weird to think I’ve been on the forum for almost 5 years now…
Hopefully it’s been time well spent, I miss my “regular” badge tho. Don’t spend enough time on here daily to get it back I think
