Hi all,
I have looked for this answer and can not seem to figure it out from looking at the discussion boards. I have added to a post to the following thread
'https://communities.sas.com/thread/30351' but have not received an answer.
When someone answers your question and you want to let everyone know that you are satisfied with an answer. How do I change it from
'Not Answered' to 'Answered'.
Thanks, Nancy
At the bottom of someone's reply, there are two options: "Mark Correct Answer" and "Mark Helpful". If you have already marked a correct answer, then you will only have the helpful choice. You are allowed to mark one correct answer and up to 2 helpful answers. Once you select a correct answer, your post will go from "Not Answered" to "Answered". Let me know if that helps!

OK, I see that. Thanks.
Is there a way to mark older posts that I have, as being 'Answered' ? I log in and look at my older posts and don't see those two buttons. Were they added after a certain time frame? I have posts in 2011 that I don't see those buttons at the bottom of the post.
Thanks for your reply.
I don't know why they wouldn't appear on older posts. It may be something they came up with recently. I joined the SAS community in June 2011, so I don't have anything older to compare it to. Those June 2011 posts still have the "Correct" and "Helpful" options for me. I would conclude that they added it since then. I wouldn't know how to change older posts to answered. Sorry!
