**This is also a huge problem for us.** If people aren’t accustomed to participating in Q&A communities like SO, for example, it doesn’t occur naturally to them that there’s any value in marking a reply as the Accepted Answer.

We could reply to the topic but that would only unnecessarily bump it. We could send a private message but that’s harder to track and people other than the poster won’t get any education that they too should accept answers.
