Hi All,
I asked a question in Quick Answers a few days ago, I have solved it myself (with a little help from one of the softies at work). I was looking to mark the question as answered, add my solution to it (to help others looking... it was a bit of an elementary problem). However using the search box I can't locate it...

Never answer your own question.
|
|
|
|

or search for your question using the search box

If there's no one providing, then I'd rather see a solution (detailed with explanation) to own question rather than leaving the question without answer. This would definitely help future readers finding solution to similar problem they have.

But it looks like you're just trying to increase your reputation.
Update the question with your solution instead.

I don't know how the reputation works for answering own's question. I haven't done it before and haven't asked any question at this point. Anyway, points are just numbers and it doesn't give you anything (perhaps respect). If you find out users that frequently do nonsense act like "frequently answering owns question and marking them" then feel free to report it to the admin and they will gladly evaluate that and do certain actions based on it.

This might work, but there's a big chance readers will overlook the answer to the question and perhaps they will find it even more confusing.

I don't know the others, but I do look at the timestamps.
I have marked as abusive some of those, but it was pretty obvious.
Question and I solved myself within 5 minutes several times froms ame user? and a solution in a cuple of lines = Abuse
Some hours / days between question and solution and a solution explained as it should... legitime own solving and no reports needed at all
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

You are correct.
Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it.
Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

Under your name, you should be able to see links to some areas. One of them is "My Questions" link.

Ah Ha, I couldn't remember where I had seen it!

You should remember it. They're pretty handy shortcuts.

Why would you want to mark it as answered if you've not solved it?

Hi,
I am facing an issue with UWP combo box and pivot control, that I would like to discuss with other people. I am reluctant to add a question since the issue is not very common and might need some thorough discussion, and the closest forums I can find are Mobile and Silverlight / WPF.
Which one should I post in?
Thanks.

You have my vote!! I am also working on UWP now.
|
|
|
|
|
I would just post it under "Quick Answers", I think that is more frequently viewed than the other forums (but I could be wrong of course) 
|
|
|
|
|
Okay, I'll bite. 
|
|
|
|
|
Bon appetit

Put it in the quick answers and/or the general c#/vb forum, but not both, and ask Chris and crew via buggs and suggs what to do with UWP questions (i.e. new forum for this topic?).
