Someone answered my question, but there is no checkmark to accept the answer. I've been unable to find out if I need more reputation to do this, if I'm missing something, or if something is wrong.

3It doesn't appear that the question actually has an answer, rather there is a comment that answers the question. If/when karlkoeller turns his comment into an answer, you will then be able to accept it. This is assuming that there wasn't an answer that has been deleted since you posted the question. Compare what you see in that question, to this question of yours to see the difference.– Scott H.Sep 7, 2013 at 22:50

Scott H. correctly answered your question; only answers can be accepted. The network ask that comments be reserved clarifying the content or suggesting improvements to a post. Answers (even partial, comment-sized answers) should not be hidden in the comments.

3We have had substantial discussion about the phenomenon of potential answers in comments which is a strategy used with great success here. Please see Why do people answer in comments?. Overall we have no questions that have been answered in comments and receive no answer. Usually answers in comments are turned into answers. Sep 14, 2013 at 20:06
