In thread started by me, can't mark post as "Answer" - maybe because it's from before the migration?

I’ve started a thread before the migration. Now as it received the best answer, I would like to close it by marking that answer, but I can’t as the appropriate item is missing from the posts’ menu.

To exclude some potential issue with this incarnation of the forum: can Moderators please confirm that this is consequence of the migration, or is it something else?

I looked for that in the menu and completely overlooked the footer. Sorry for the noise.

Now can please somebody post here saying that oh well you’re getting old, Jan, so that I can mark that post as the answer… :-)

To be fair need to mark your post as Best Answer as it contains the answer of the original question ;)

PS: the good stuff in this new platform is regarding the marking unmarking the Best Answer: easy to use. It’s a toggle button to mark or unmark the post.
