Good example superuser.com/questions/647618/… I posted my thoughts, and it resolved it. I took the request to make it an answer and got the 2 votes and a solution check. I say if you see an answer, as the poster to make an answer if the substance is there. | |

This is by design, in order to avoid requiring search engine visitors to sift comments to find the information to solve their problem. | |

If Blah has under <500 rep and just starting out maybe take some time to review their previous answers and up/down vote where applicable just so they get some feedback and recognition for the times they have put in the effort | |

| Sep 20, 2013 at 2:28 | comment | added | 50-3 | I was on my phone at the time so I didn't have the abilities to write up a well constructed answer so I left a vague at best comment. This was at best maybe ~2 mins work if someone wants to put in the 5-10 mins to constructed a good answer I would support it and upvote it even if it was based of a solution I posted in a comment. So I'm backing techie007's answer on this | |

If someone says the same thing as an answer and it ends up getting accepted, I'm disappointed that I missed out on the reputation but it's my fault for being a wuss. | |
