text: how do i contact someone who has answered my question to thank him/her for the answer? i've gotten some really good advice from people on questions i've asked and would like to thank them for the help, but i don't know how to contact them. when you choose your best answer there is a space provided to add a comment. you could thank them for their help in that space. after you choose the best answer a notice is sent to the person's "answer page" to tell them that one of their answers has been chosen as best and that they recieved 10 points. they can click a link on that page to take them to the question they answered where they can see your comment about the answer.
