How do I accept multiple comments as my solution?

Published:
To accept multiple comments as a solution, please follow these steps (screen shots below):
Once logged in, go to the question you would like to close. You'll find it under "My Open Questions" in your workspace.

From there, scroll to the Expert comment that provided you with the solution. Click on "Best Solution" or "Assisted Solution"  located on one of the comments that provided the solution to your question. You can select as many comments as are appropriate, and you have the choice to indicate which was the "Best Solution."

A summary of your selections will appear on the bottom rail. Click "Next" when you are satisfied with your choices, or "Reset" if you've made a mistake. 

You'll see the "Award Points and Grades" pop-up appear. The points will automatically be split, half will be awarded to the "Best Solution" and the rest evenly between all "Assisted Solutions" you select. You can divide the points as you like by clicking "Edit Points & Grades". The total points you may award is at the top of the page below your question's title. You must award at least 20 points to all comments you select. 

If you'd like, leave a "Closing comment" for the experts.  This is a good chance for you to thank the Experts, and verify that their solution's worked.

Once your closing comment is posted, simply click "Close Question!"

If for any reason that you made a mistake, ascertain that any of the solutions didn't work, or wish to go back and re allocate points, you can request attention on your closed question.

Steps:
1. Log into your Experts-Exchange account.
2. Go to the question you would like to close. You'll find it under "My Open Questions" in your workspace.

3. Click on "Best Solution" or "Assisted Solution"  located on any of the comments that provided the solution to your question.

4. A summary of your selections will appear on the bottom rail. Click "Next."

5. Leave a "Closing comment" for the experts.
6. Click on "Close Question."
