How do I mark this as solved?

You click the green button in the post labeled "Pick as the solution"

But since you can't choose your own post as a solution, I just did it for you.

"you can't choose your own post as a solution"

Ahha...I thought that was part of the problem. TY.

Microsoft Community Forum is the same way...I don't know why.

Here's another one.

In neither 'issue' have I ever seen the 'green button' for any of the comments/answers by others.

Any idea why? Do I possibly not have sufficient privileges?

ETA
I am beginning to suspect you mean a 'green button' in the EMAIL I received -- not in the comments section.
Correct?

Members can't nominate their own posts as the "Best solution" for a very good reason.

We have a ranking system/leader board based on how many "Best answers" a member gets each month.

It wouldn't be fair if you were able to boost your own ranking just by a simple mouse click on your answers.

Also, you should not be picking BAs in threads you did not originate. That choice belongs to the OP, admins, staff, or moderators.
