How does the "I've solved this myself" question button work on code project?

I have a some questions whose solution I have discovered on my own.
I clicked the "I've solved this on my own " button , but there was no difference.

So how does the button work to tell people they shouldn't border again?

You are thinking too hard about this. It is the same thing.

Solution 1

As the text suggests, you have arrived at an answer and you don't need help from people in the forum and the question is effectively closed.

Correct, my 5. I would also highly discourage inquirers from publishing their own answers. Many even formally accept such answers, which is often (maybe not always) is just the abuse. Who needs to know if an inquirer makes some mistake and fixed is later? This is just the garbage. If someone think that there is some valuable finding, nothing prevents them from publishing, say, a Tip/Tricks article. Otherwise, nothing is needed.

Yes, a highly inadvisable thing to do since it may invoke repercussions from forum members.

Pls see view my last comment.

But I have done that for a number of question in the lasy two days and don't read closed when I viewed them again.
I have asked quite a reasonable number of questions in the last two weeks and have been able to get their sulution on my own.
I just wanted to keep people away from question whose answer I already have thereby saving there precious time.

If the question was not closed, then this might be a bug which you can file in the "bugs and suggestions" forum in the help menu.

As Sergey said, if you feel the solution is good for publication and will help others then publish a tip or article about it.

The best thing is to avoid jumping to the forum and asking a question before you have exhausted other options. Too many questions here are posted in haste. The presence of a lot of trivial questions has the effect of discouraging competent people from being here at all. This does not mean that genuine questions from novice programmers are unwelcome. The activity of programming however requires the development of skills to problem solve for oneself.

On a second thought, even if I have found a solution to a question it is still best to leave it open.Someone might know a much more better and superior sulution to the question.Infact, I might not know that I haven't found the right solution until someone post a solution.Such was my experience a daw or two ago.I thougt. I had figured out the right solution to a _variant_t class question until someone with the name superman posted a new solution.
