Honestly, it’s kind of a shame that you’re not sharing that information, because it’s standard protocol to share your answer regardless of whether someone helped you with it or you found out yourself, since that way users that have the same issue in the future will have a way to find their answer by searching, rather than creating a new topic again. Just my thoughts though, you don’t have to share if you really don’t want to
