Could you please explain how I should go about crediting him correctly?

 

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.

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.
