This is about those two questions:

Both had no answer (neither accepted nor unaccepted). Both askers answered it without actually writing an answer, but by

  • adding a comment explaining the answer
  • editing the question to contain the answer

Unfortunately, both did not respond to the hints to create and accept an answer. In one, I added the asker's question as answer because he didn't do that.

Now my questions:

  • Is that ok?
  • If not, what should we do in such cases?
