| Nov 2, 2016 at 20:43 | comment | added | user364819 | Often new users haven't read the help section and don't know about the concept on this site of "accepting" an answer, so as long as you are not pushy (I don't think you came across as pushy), I think it is fine and actually a good thing to let them know. If there are multiple answers and the user hasn't accepted any and has been gone for a while with no response, then I sometimes comment to tell them that they can accept an answer if it worked for them, and if there is more than one answer that worked for them, to then choose the best one. I also provide a link to the help section on it. | |
| Nov 2, 2016 at 14:32 | comment | added | Mark Kirby | Just to be really pedantic about it :) "if my answer works" is not a good thing to put. You should wait for confirmation it worked before asking for the accept IMO. In this case, the OP did say your answer worked, so asking for an accept is 100% fine, we need those accepts. Without any indication your answer worked, it may be a bit rude to try and push for the accept. I don't think you did anything wrong here, I think that comment was left because you asked for an accept on the question but the confirmation was on the answer, so Lightness misinterpreted your comment. | |

| Oct 30, 2016 at 9:31 | comment | added | Zanna Mod | I used to do that only if OP was new and said "thanks! that worked!" instead of accepting. But someone pointed out that maybe this doesn't make a very nice impression and I realised they are right and I stopped, and it feels so much better to not think about whether I get accepts :) But I still leave comments occasionally encouraging OP to accept someone else's answer if they say it worked for them. | |
