The OP of this question told me privately he couldn't up-vote my answer because he had insufficient points. The site wouldn't let him.

When would he?

  • @Mapperz: Aha, thanks. And rep required for Accepting and answer? I didn't see that listed. (If not, it seems odd that newcomers cannot accept answers to their own questions.)

At the Help Center > Privileges page it says, amongst many other things:

15 - vote up - Indicate when questions and answers are useful

and

1 - create posts - Ask a question or contribute an answer

Although not explicitly stated, my understanding is that as soon as you have the privilege to ask a Question, you also have the privilege to Accept an Answer to it.

You must log in to answer this question.
