I am new to this what are the thumbs up and down about and how do you use them?

Answer 1

thumbs up and down are a way people can show their appreciation or lack of it towards someone elses answer.......

I dont think you can give an answer a thumb until you are on level two but not totally sure of that as i'm not there myself yet.....

Good luck on getting there

Answer 2

If you like an answer we've put on here, give it a Thumbs Up. If you don't, give it a Thumbs Down.

Answer 3

thumbs up good, thumbs down bad, Invented by the Romans in the arena

Answer 4

its to rate other peoples answers as good or bad, thumbs up or down

also if a persons answer is picked as best answer they get extra points for each thumbs up

Answer 5

I am new to this also, as of Monday. But I just made it to level two, and am now able to use those thumbs. It's to rate other answers as good or bad ones.

Answer 6

you need to be on level two before you are allowed to vote.to get to level two you need to answer more questions rather than ask questions.you lose 5 points off your points if you ask a question.if you answer a question you get 2 points.if your answer is chosen as best answer you get ten ppoints.the thumbs up/down is wether you like/agree or not with the question,dont worry i found it confusing the first few times but if you stick at it youll soon get the hang of things,welcome to yahoo answers.......v.addictive

Answer 7

If you think you see a good answer, you can give it the thumbs up, if you think it is a bad answer or inappropriate to the question, you can give a thumbs down.

However, please be fair, and if not sure, do not rate.
