um actually you are not an idiot, it is a little confusing. You have to access this option through your email. You click where it says that someone has answered your question and then you view that question. After a certain amount of days when you do this there should be a choose best answer button in blue. I am not sure if these directions are 100% accurate but pretty close, if you do this or something close it should be pretty self-explanitory I assume.

you got to wait for the question to be a couple hours old, so that there could be a lot of answers to choose from. Then there would be a BIG BLUE BUTTON that says "choose as best answer"; press it, and you are done.
