How can I mark my own answer as the "Accepted Answer"
How can I mark my own answer as the "Accepted Answer", in case I find some solution to the issue and want to update and mark it as answered?

One answer
You cannot mark your own answers as correct. The reason for this is that as you gain more reputation points, you unlock more moderation features. Having an answer marked as the accepted answer gives you reputation points. Therefore, it would be a security concern if you had the ability to mark your own answer as correct, because it would undermine the reputation and moderation system.
Comments @SpencerGriffin: Most of the forum does have this feature. The way out is not to award any point for that. The intent is not getting undue points, but collaborate and help the community to reach the solution faster. The attitude matters! I agree with @kangkan that a good fix is to not award points if a user selects their own answer. It seems wrong that a user who posted a question knows and posts the right answer but has to wait for someone else to come by and mark it as the right answer. 2
@griffisp I think I agree with the comments above. We could enable this with no awarding of points. Please put this on the list.
How is the current state on this? I still don't see the option to accept my own answer
@bkchulin: It is not even possible for someone else to mark a question as the right answer. This is only allowed for your own questions.
i think moderators could. You could tell us which ones you want marked.
How can we best contact the moderators for this?

Good question. I have no idea! Feel free to contact me. I will pass this on to some folks that could come up with a solutuion.
I also agree with @kangkan that users should not get not award points for answering their own questions.
