Replying to [honindco]:
There are a number of ways:
1. You can post a question, then check the no. of points (MVPs) to award to the best answer, i.e., 10, 50 or 100. You then award the post that you think deserves the best answer by clicking on best answer box in the same post. Or the forum moderator is also authorised to award the same after more than a week since you started the question.
2. If you post a topic and later want to award MVPs to the best answer or answers, then you can post a question inviting the award recipient to collect her/his award by replying to your question. You then just click on the best answer box in the awardee's reply.
Hope this is helpful.
