Choosing A Best Answer?

Question

I went into my own profile, clicked on the question I wanted to resolve so as to choose a best answer (I was the "asker") but there is no "Choose Best Answer" button anywhere. So am I missing something ?

Answer 1

If the question isn't old enough, by Y's standards, that button won't show up....usually it has to be at least 4 hrs old or older before you can choose - they used to have a feature where a message would pop up asking you to wait awhile before choosing, but I no longer see that.

Cut and Paste from the Help Section:

What do I have to do once my question has been answered?

Once your question has been posted for at least 4 hours, you can:


Choose the best answer (must have at least one answer): Click Choose as Best Answer next to your chosen answer. Your question is considered "resolved" when a best answer is selected.

Let the Answers' community choose the best answer (must have at least two answers): Click Edit in the action bar below your question and from the edit menu, select Ask for a Vote.
If you're not satisfied with any of the answers, you can also extend your question's expiration date and wait for more answers. To do this, click Edit in the action bar below your question and from the edit menu select Extend Expiration.

If you don't choose a Best Answer, put it to a vote, or take steps to extend the question, it automatically goes to a vote after 4 days.

Answer 2

will it takes 4hours when you post a question than the Best Answer come up and second is that if you post a question. you have 3 days to choose a Best Answer or you can extend you question days if you are not satisfied with the answer you got or if you haven't got an answer. you have a 7 days limited if you don't choose a Best Answer your question will be taking and available for Vote witch mean that any person can look at the question and look at the answersr and choose the best answer but even if they did that. Yahoo will send you a message that someone chose a best answe for your question and so you don't want that to happen because when you ask a question you lose 5 point right away but when you chose a best answer you get 3 more points which only you are losing 2 points, so it better when you ask a question keep a track on when is the question expire or you will lose 5 point or either you want to lose 5 point or lose 2 point when choosing a best answer.

Answer 3

You have to wait a certain time, before you can choose, and to be fair to all, leave your questions up for at least a day. You have people on this site form the UK,South Africa and Australia, and we don't get to answer a lot of the questions, because they are already resolved so quickly. Try to be fair to eveyone.

Answer 4

Very stressful!!!!!!!!!! definite, it got here about to me a 12 months in the past with a former Yahoo identity. question: "Which comes first: chicken or egg?" My answer: "chicken (alphabetical order!)" yet another answerer used my similar answer after I submitted it. His change into chosen fantastic answer. became out to be a crew of two persons who had a touch pastime going the position she might want to pose a question; he might want to respond to; and no be counted how inane (or insane) the answer, his might want to be chosen for the ten factors. An celebration -- she requested the question: "Who invented the 24 hour day?" He replied "Rolex proprietor", and he or she chosen that as fantastic answer.

Answer 5

When it has been 4 hours click on the question and it will say choose as best answer on each answer.

Answer 6

that's because you have to wait 4hrs before you can choose a best answer. After that, the button will become visible.

Answer 7

You went to soon its 4 hours before the bar appears, but you should leave it at least 24 hours to give everyone time to answer.
