Go to solution Solved by decorators3,

My apologies. I certainly didn't mean to take credit for Joey's solution. I thought that by using the Quote feature and thanking him for his help, I was giving him proper credit. Could you please explain how I should go about crediting him correctly? I'd be happy to do so.

You marked your reply to Joey's solution as the Solution. To properly give credit, mark his post as the solution instead.

 

See at the top of the thread where it says "Go to Solution - solved by decorator3"? You didn't solve it, Joey did. And that button is there to take people directly to the actual Solution quickly, if they're having the same issue. In this case the button goes to your reply, not the actual solution.

 

A lot of people do this, so don't feel bad but yeah. The Solution feature is meant to help others by directing them to a problem solution, but also to throw some kudos to the people giving their time here to help others.

I did this the first time I used the mark as solution feature, as I thought it was marking the thread itself as being solved. so dont feel too bad

BTW, as the author of the thread, I think you can still go back and unmark your post as the solution and then mark Joey's as the solution.  

 

Some people actually care about how many solutions they have.  I happen to have lots of solutions but that's only because I always try to answer the really easy questions.  There are many other people on this forum with far more expertise than me so I wouldn't put too much importance on this.
