How to acknowledge more then one person who helps answer a question

In the old forum you were able to check more then one persons answer to a question. For example many times in the past I would post a question and receive more then one good answer. In this forum I wanted to acknowledge to individuals but only were able to select one of them. Am I missing something here?? Is there a way of crediting more then one person? Sometimes you get an answer and select their response of being helpful but then someone else makes a statement which turns out to be so much better?? What do you do in that case?

Thanks
Les

    True, in old forums we had ability to mark multiple posts as answer but here we can just mark one.

    Why only one accepted answer?
    Because only the person who asked the question can accept an answer, one answer will solve their problem. There might be several that are close enough, and for that, the community and the original poster can vote to indicate the rest of the users that the answer is also good.

    Above details are documented here - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/articles/25904/accepted-answers.html
