Just wondering why some posts have a green check mark beside them. I like to know everything in case I miss something LOL

The green checkmark happens when you click "best answer" to someones response to your original post. So when Igazor answered my question in one of my posts there are options  in the upper right side of his post where you can respond in various ways, if you click "best answer" then that is the first thing someone will see after the original posters question.

I should add that anyone will only have this option in one of their own threads (posts) obviously because as the OP you are the one who decides what is the best answer to your question. I like this option a lot because it can help other readers file though posts of things they have the same question about and find an answer right away. :-)

Don't be so sure. Sometimes an Organizer might sneak in and decide that an answer deserves the designation without the OP's saying so. Like what might possibly have happened here.  :D

LOL  Yes, that makes sense too and also it's good to know. I was just shocked that I could actually answer someones question. :-)
