7 AnswersZoology2 decades agoHas the quality of questions on Yahoo! Answers gone?
I am increasingly disillusioned on Yahoo! Answers. The Questions that are being asked is really silly and I have lost interest in even looking. Is it just me or does everybody else feel this way too. Even the featured questions these days are dull. Yahoo! Answers team should think of ways by which users can ask interesting questions.
As for me, I am not even interested in the points anymore. The interest is wearing thin. Some really dumb answers get selected as best answers.In fact, I have stoppped visiting Yahoo! Answers of late. Disillusioned, basically.

4 AnswersYahoo Answers2 decades agoIn Yahoo! Answers, only some questions are getting marked as Best Answer in my Q & A. Is this a bug?
Among the questions that I have answered and got selected as "Best Answer" by the voters, many of them do not appear with the "Best Answer" in orange indication. Here are a few samples of questions that was chosen as Best Answer. It does not show up as Best Answer on the My Answer list (there are many more):
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApEP3...
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArpBP...
I think this is a defect in Yahoo! Answer. Or is there some rule for Best Answer I do not know about?
Also, don't you think there should be a way to sort answers based on status (open/in voting/resolved/best answer/all answers)?
