How can I answer my own question?
How can I answer my own question, even though no expert has commented yet?
I recently spent a half hour writing a question very carefully, then discovered the answer. I posted the question anyhow.
I believe other ee users might find my question valuable, so I don't want to delete the question, I just want to mark it as answered.

Use the content to write and publish an article here. That is a better forum for imparting information than Q&A when there is no question.
Mark it as Best Solution. After that the closure process will start. Then your answer will stay here "forever".

I have used ee for 13 years, but now I am confused.
For some reason I no longer see "Best Answer" or "Close" on my questions.
For instance, both options are missing from this question (How-can-I-answer-my-own-q
All I can see are "Was this helpful?" drop down.

So, I have threeoptions.
1) delete question and submit an article. ( I think my particular question is too minor to justify calling it an article.)
2) wait for someone to "answer" my question even though I already have an answer. This will waste the time of the expert that answers it.
I will probably take option 2, even though both options seem to be less than ideal.

all expert comments were good. I hope Kyle is correct that the bug will eventually be solved. No urgency though.
