How do you mark a reply as being the “best answer” and mark the topic as being “resolved”?

I don’t think that’s a native feature (feel to correct me if I’m wrong, folks) and would require a plugin, but one thing I do on my non-Discourse forum is simply edit the title of the thread to include [Resolved] at the beginning. The best answer would be the one that gets most likes, or you could use staff coloring to make it stand out.

I noticed the staff coloring option. Can you change the staff color?
