Now this is interesting ...

(1) I marked Bernard Bout's post (Re: PicvtureVal Thread #1477245 Message #1477286) as the solution to my query,

(2) you then post a message (Re: PicvtureVal Thread #1477245 Message #1477390) saying you also had the solution,

(3) then mysteriously your first post gets given 3 solution stars even though I did not do that and, in any case, the UT interface does not allow marking 2 posts both as the solution. So this must have been someone (you?) with elevated UT privileges to have done that.

I thought the original poster was the only one who could allocate solution/help stars to their questions.
