Learn, share, and get recognized
I have been posting questions across the forums. I have been getting a lot of good responses. How does one indicate the response was correct tor helpful. Does one have to get back to your email? You don't know if the response was helpful until you go to the forum and read it. Its there a way to "give credit" while on the forum? Thanks in advance.

If people are responding to a thread that you started you can use the This helped me or This solved my question links as you feel is appropriate. If you're in someone else's thread you can also use the This helped me links if you wish. If you have enabled email from the communities you may be able to activate those options in the email that you received, otherwise you can do it on the live forum. Depending on the options you set for email you may get notified if a post you've made has been responded to or marked by someone else as helpful or a solution.
You may find these links to your own content useful, the first three will highlight threads with new activity:

Only you as the original poster ("OP") can mark a response as "Helpful" or Solved." If you started the thread, you should see the options for marking a response with "This helped me" or "This solved my question" at the bottom of the responder's post:
The person whose reponse you marked will receive points using this system:

If you tag a question onto someone else's thread (never a good idea around here if you want effective help) then you cannot award points for any response.
Starting last March if you see a helpful answer in another person's thread you can mark it helpful. If five people also mark the answer helpful they will be awarded 5 points and have their post marked as "Helpful." For example if Allen Jones gets three more helpfuls he'll be awarded a helpful.
