Where did the best answer button go? Like to post on answer from a question asked?

20,893 PointsI always remember receiving emails to select a best answer, but last time I recall depending on your browser and device it would be located somewhere around the answer someone posted.
If they posted a comment instead of an answer you cannot give them a "best answer". Though comments I think have since been removed because of this incapability.(EDIT: Comments are still there)
I will see if I can get a picture or something to show you (Unless it truly has been removed)
EDIT: It looks like right below the comment on my browser it says "Comment" and "Best Answer", so try clicking the Best Answer option. Keep in mind only the thread owner can choose the best answer, everyone else can only up vote the answers.

19,488 PointsAndrew if you posted a comment I can not give you a best answer than. If you answered the question the button is not there for me to click on best answer. Thank you for your reply...

Courses Plus Student 26,868 PointsYou could if you're the author of that forum post. You are not able select best answer for someone else's post.

Courses Plus Student 26,868 PointsAndrew Gay correct, can't select comment as best answer either.

Treehouse Moderator 27,741 PointsI think General Discussion topics do not qualify for best answer points or upvotes; however I could be wrong.
