I've posted a solution to the original problem, as well as several unrelated problems that other people have asked about, in a thread on the forums: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1212386&tstart=0. It looks like the OP found my answer to solve his problem, and has marked the thread as answered, without marking my post as "Solved" or even "Helpful", and then has left. Is there any way for a moderator or someone to mark my post as "Solved" so I get the points for it?

    The object of the exercise is to solve problems, the points are gravy. I would estimate that at least eight out of ten solved problems are so marked, without giving the solver points. The Hosts will not award points . Virtue is it own reward

    Hi Brian!

    Unfortunately, that is very common, and all respondents, are affected by it.

    There are thousands of entries made here every day, that would have to each be read, for assessment.

    So, if the Hosts were to start screening for posts, that possibly should be rewarded, there would be no time to accomplish, any of the more critical tasks of their job.

    Hi Brian,

    The Hosts can mark a question as 'assumed answered' but cannot award helpful or solved stars to individual answers unless the Host actually asked the question.

    Kind regards,
    Mark

    I have posted several questions over the past two weeks. Some have been solved, some not. How do I mark my question as "solved" and award points?

    I am getting really dense in my old age - but I don't understand where I go and what I click on to show that my question was answered or that a response was helpful. The link shows you what it all means but not how to actually do it. For me that means step-by-step directions.

    One way is to click on the My Questions link in the upper-right pane on this page.

    Your unresolved questions will be listed, click on one and view a response. You should see helpful and solved buttons within that persons post.

    Sorry babstie!

    In the Topics that you have started, in each reply, there will be two tabs, for you to click on.

    One will say Helpful and the other will say Solved.
    They are located to the left of the Reply tab.

    O.K. Thank you. I think I found the problem. I didn't start the topic, I just replied to one already posted.
