Points and Levels

To 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.)

you can only reply to a question for i believe the first week then the responses get voted on, but if you want to answer some there are always 3 things at the top of the (yahoo questions page) [ASK] [ANSWER] [DISCOVER] and if you click answer you can find a lot of questions that need answering. if you found a specific one then right under the question should be a button that says answer this question, you click that and you can type your response. if it doesn't have that button chances are its in voting or its been voted on and closed to answers....Show more
