(Get the code!)
I don't think people avoid "This Solved My Problem" because "they don't see the ... button", I think they do see it but avoid it because it seems not to allow them to thank the person. And again, I think tweaking the "I Solved My Problem" label would have little effect, other than increasing mistaken "I'm Providing More Information" clicks.
So here's what I suggest.
* For 1.0, change the buttons to "Problem Solved" and "I Still Need An Answer", and remove all UI for marking a best answer. Don't try to guess it, either (that would be aggravating when the guess was wrong); give equal karma for all comments.
* After 1.0, introduce the checkboxes.
This approach has the benefit that there would have been only two sets of button labels over time: the set we have now, and the 1.0 set. The only difference between the 1.0 interface and the post-1.0 interface would be the presence of the checkboxes.
