Points and LevelsTo encourage participation and reward great answers, Yahoo! Answers has a system of points and levels. The number of points you get depends on the specific action you take. The points table below summarizes the point values for different actions. While you can't use points to buy or redeem anything, they do allow everyone to recognize how active and helpful you've been. (And they give you another excuse to brag to your friends.)

Levels are another way to keep track of how active you (and others) have been. The more points you accumulate, the higher your level. Yahoo! Answers recognizes your level achievements with our special brand of thank you's!
And finally, as you attain higher levels, you'll also be able to contribute more to Yahoo! Answers - you can ask, answer, vote and rate more frequently.

HOW DO I ASK A QUESTION ?
It’s easy. Once you’ve logged in, just:
Click Ask at the top-left corner of any page.
Type in your question. (Similar questions may appear underneath as you type, so if someone's asked the same question, you might not have to.)
Add any details that will help people answer it.
Select a category for your question.
Decide whether you want us to send an email sent to you whenever someone answers your question. If not, uncheck the Yes, email me answers as they are posted box.
Click Preview. If the question looks ok to you, click Submit.
Remember: the clearer your question is, the more likely you'll get really good answers. Use the Details section to provide additional information and further clarify your question. Taking the time to choose the best category for your question will also help make sure it's seen by the people most able to answer your question.
For guidelines on what types of questions are acceptable, please refer to our community guidelines.

You need 250 points to get to Level 2. You need 179 more. Keep in mind every time you ask a question, it costs you 5 points. To "get back" those points and still be ahead, you need to answer 3 questions. Just spend a few minutes each day and answer some questions. Look through the different categories. To "save" points, before asking a question, type in part of your question in the "search for question" box at the top of the page.
Note: You really should have posted this question in another category. You should have clicked on "Yahoo Products," and then clicked on Yahoo Answers." Considering your "low" points, DON'T repost it. Michelle A, sunny, and I have given you the answers you need. That's why some of the others have been making some slightly rude comments.
