Does Stack Exchange profile count towards problem solving skills?
Note that linked duplicate has 0 mentions of how Stack Exchange on resume relates or doesn't to problem solving skills, so it does not address my specific question.
Within the context of jobs for which I am applying - Python development and Linux system administration - does profile on Stack Exchange sites count towards problem solving ?
Typically I participate on Unix & Linux and Ask Ubuntu, and within the context of such sites I address three types of questions:
OP has a problem with their system - a feature they want to disable or something doesn't work as expected
OP wants to know if there is an application that can do x,y,z
OP wants to know how to parse data with set of existing tools
In these types of questions, I usually try to answer from knowledge I already have, research extra, and/or implement OP's desired functionality as script/application. A good example of the later is filesystem usage indicator, which I wrote for OP's specific question.
So with consideration of the above, does Stack Exchange profile count as problem solving on the resume ? If it does, how do I appropriately present that on my resume ?

StackExchange answers aren't proof of problem-solving skills. They are proof of being able to find and write answers. Two very different things.
When employers ask about problem-solving skills, they aren't simply looking for someone who can come up with theoretical solutions. The key things that employers look for in problem-solving skills are:
1) Ability to identify a problem. This becomes null and void when it is literally given right to you a la StackExchange.
2) Ability to assess the urgency of said problem. You can't possibly tell the consequences or lack thereof if a question goes unanswered, but this would be something you'd probably be aware of in a company situation.
3) Ability to identify solutions and pick out the best one. This is really the only one that StackExchange is good for.
4) Ability to safely implement said solution. It's all well and good having a good theoretical fix until your fix inadvertently knocks another service offline because you didn't think about the configuration of the system. If you aren't in a position to do this yourself (or it is otherwise unwise to), coordinating with those who can is a good substitute.

"It's all well and good having a good theoretical fix until your fix inadvertently knocks another service offline because you didn't think about the configuration of the system." Well, that's a bit of a stretch that assumes an answer doesn't consider effects on other services/applications. Sure, that happens, but that's not a consistent rule. "You can't possibly tell the consequences or lack thereof if a question goes unanswered" That also assumes answerer's incapability.

"Ability to identify a problem. This becomes null and void when it is literally given right to you a la StackExchange." In cases where OP has only an error message or something not working as the only leads to go, you still have to troubleshoot, figure out causes of said error. A symptom of a disease is not disease itself, no ?

@SergiyKolodyazhnyy but the point is, a StackExchange user cannot know what else is on that system and therefore cannot take it into account. If a SE user asks for help with their SSH server and the best answer is a fix that just happens to screw with a HTTPS server on the same box due to configuration nuances only the asker will know, it is still a valid answer on SE but would still create another problem for the asker in practice.

Most technical SE sub-forums would simply close the question for being vague or ask the user to dump the logfile/verbose output if there isn't enough detail in the question. in most cases it is usually spelled out there.

No, we can surely operate only on the information OP provides, but wouldn't it be evident from a good answer itself that the answerer considered multiple sides of the situation ? Additionally, if it messes up with specifics of OPs nuances, wouldn't OP reject that as a solution in the first place ?
