Here's what I do:
- Leave a comment on the question. The OP is notified automatically, and you can @name one additional commenter to notify. Usually I say something like this:
Hi <name>, good to see you found a solution to your problem! If you wish, you can add it as an answer yourself. This way it helps future visitors to your question. Plus, you might earn some more rep points!
Or if it is a commenter:
Hi @<name>, the OP has confirmed that your suggestion has worked for them. Would you care to add it as an answer?
- Add a Community Wiki answer. This way the question counts as answered (assuming one upvote), and you don't earn rep on it. Something like:
According to the OP/commenters this is what worked:
You have to blarg the snagglebeast BEFORE entering the temple. Otherwise it's too powerful.
- Add your own answer. If you think there is more info needed than what the OP or commenters have said, add it yourself and embellish on their findings:
According to the OP/commenters, you have to blarg the snagglebeast BEFORE entering the temple. Otherwise it's too powerful.
The easiest way to accomplish this is to wait until nightfall. the Snagglebeast can't see in the dark.
