First of all, Thanks for the help from community. 

I hope I could be more helpful, more healthy and strong.

I saw many questions were answered but the author don't mark correct. 

Some of the thread were many years ago.

If they had marked the answer.

It would be helpful for me and other members of the community to find the answer quick.

Yes true, as

st.mcu

‌ pointed out, PM is probably better. Again I will take this into consideration when we have the new platform and see if there isn't some way to do this better ;)

So is your thread a 'Question' or a 'Discussion' ?

thread is a 'Question'

Also, you have to be logged-in as the author of the thread.

EDIT

Unanswered 'Questions' have ain the threads listing;

Answered 'Questions' have a

You won't, this is William's thread, not yours, you can't mark other people's thread as answered/correct.

But doesn't that make the post (or even the whole thread?) disappear from view while it is 'in moderation' ?

I think it depends on the sub-category you select, I think if you mark is as Spam it will drop from the feeds, and then Brian and his group can address or delete.

I've tended to use 'Report Abuse' in the manner Brian describes, as it then flags with all the moderators. The alternative is to go to the top and Share with specific members.
