I think it has to do with that "select answer" thing and doesn't relate to if you simply responded to a question.

Say I asked: "what is 100 + 100" and you came back and posted "200" then I could hit the "select answer" button (it might say something else, I don't remember) showing that the question has been answered.

Then it would show up in your stats that you have answered one question.

I could be wrong but that's how I interpreted it.

you are correct...

So, it is up to the person asking the question to decide whether they want to accept a particular answer as correct? Or, leave it open?

If I had such a feature in my initial post, it would be difficult, as the complete answer was shared. Although Boom had an excellent answer, RP had the final solution to this question.

So, why did my initial post not have the "choose best reply" feature in it?

It won't be in your initial post -- it will be in the header of the people who responded to your post. Look for a green button up by the "reply" button.

not sure, but here's an example of what i mean --

Thanks, boom!

Also, thanks, RP for your info.

You guys realize the dilemma I'm in now, right? I have to choose whose answer is best. Oh, the stress and pressure!

I would hold out for future consideration, were it me, but I only answered one, and then only cause I hadda...

since i already had one, i'm glad to see you gave this one to boomerang...
