Possible Discourse settings change?

It seems a new user can’t mark a post as a solution.

With time or kudos (not sure which) they gain this privilege.

However, the privilege doesn’t cross from one forum to another: I can’t mark a solution on the Ireland forum, but I can on the Help and Support forum.
Can: How do I calculate x and y in km, between two points? - #2 by sbre
Can’t: Does anyone have a regex for Irish postcodes? - #4 by Jofban

The same behaviour is seen on the ask.libreoffice.org instance of Discourse.

Would this be an easy change to make?

The reason is that the “solution” option is not activated for the Ireland category but for the Help and suppport category.

If you want this option for the Ireland category you have to apply to the forum admin team. It can be arranged on request.

Yes, this option can be activated on a per-category basis. Some regional categories have it active, others haven’t. If the Ireland moderators ask for it, the setting for Ireland can easily be changed.
