I often see people mark a reply as the Solution when it does not contain the Solution to the question. A reply like “Oh, yes! What you said fixes my problem!” is _not_ a solution. It is an acknowledgment of a solution, which happened in an earlier reply. The Solution should be _the answer to the problem posed in the topic,_ not the reply indicating the the problem has been solved for the topic author. ## Example @jabid asked how to make a Whatsapp link to dial a number. This was marked as the solution, but it is _not_ a solution: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/8/4819c98e1a1127db04f3cb6535b534fc32308efb.jpeg) This does not contain any information about making a Whatsapp link. **Here is the solution by @Jeff_Hager :** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/3/130baa4923ade329c0811ca93b75db35e16b56dc.jpeg) This is the solution because it actually tells you how to make a Whatsapp link. ---
