Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I am trying to use the "This solved my question - 10 points" and the "This helped me - 5 points" but they are NOT doing anything. How do I award the points ?

Are you talking about the "Legend" panel at the right of the window?

Those text are just help texts explaining the reputation points. You can only award points, if you are the original poster of a question. Then you will see active buttons to award points below the answers you receive. See here for more information: https://discussions.apple.com/static/apple/tutorial/reputation.html

Ok, I see - but these buttons are not labelled "This solved my question - 10 points" like you posted in your question, that's why I assumed you meant the other ones.

These buttons should respond - maybe you have a problem with your web browser settings. Try to clear the Browser's cache, and if that does not help, check if you have javascript enabled.

It is silly to me that you can't award reputation points / mark an answer as having helped you if you did not post the original question. I think it would be helpful to other users with the same question to know whether an answer helped people. Maybe the person who originally posted the question hasn't been helped, but someone else has...

That results in ballet stuffing.


If you wish to control the thread, you start the thread. Everyone else just gets to say "Thanks" and those of us that have been helpful appreciate that too.


Besides people that are really helpful, generally get points over time anyway, even when the original poster runs out of points to give, and when others that find a solution in someone else's post and cannot award points.
