  • That's not actually an exact duplicate; he's not asking why but how, and that post doesn't cover that.

Click the checkmark under this post, on the left. (I think it's right below the arrows).

As the author of the question, you'll see an outline of a checkmark on the left side of each answer. It'll be right below the up and down vote arrows. Click the checkmark next to the post that best answers your question to accept that answer as the best one.

    +1 Thank you for answering this. I find the checkmark a very non-intuitive and BAD UX. I didn't know how to do this either until I read this post. Such a simple thing should be WAY more obvious. They should at least put the text "Accept this answer" below the checkmark imho.
