Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

OK. So what are these "Thank yous" the Answers people are carping about?

Ok. I get it says coming soon. But I got this particularly naff desktop wallpaper (hooray) on reaching level 2... and as far as I can tell nothing on getting to level 3.

Anyone get anything else? Or know what the thank yous are going to be?

Doesn't really matter - I'm in it for the fun of answering (and asking) but since they've been advertised I thought I'd enter into the spirit of the site and ask for an answer!

Update:

I think I'm even more addicted than you SweetNSourSofi... registered on July 8 and am now working my way up to level 4!

Pity my former life... honestly, I did have one...

Update 2:

@ Fixbackpond - nope you got me wrong... not wanting "materialistic rewards" as such - just curious.

I forgot naff is a Britishism... means pathetic. The "hooray" was sarcastic.

    I didn't get anything when I got on level 2 and I just got on level 3 Thursday (I'm so excited), and I still didn't get anything. I think it's either a gimmick to make people want to keep asking questions, thus promoting the site, or it could be that they haven't really thought of an appropriate reward at this point...I mean yahoo answers really didn't gain much popularity till this year so it's still thriving...

    It doesn't matter to me though, it's something to do, keeps my brain functioning in the summer while I'm out of school, and it's good to help and educate other people...not to mention some of these questions are so ridiculous you can't help but laugh sometimes...

    Hello! I think the gratification is asking and answering. I'm at level 3 I didn't think the wallpaper was any big deal. Big whoop. I just enjoy typing away while giving and learning. It is a way of not being anti-social. You never know maybe the competition sites will stimulate the BRAIN, and give materialistic rewards. (If that's what your hinting at).You never know.

    I haven't heard of anything. But isn't this a great idea? Its a lot like going up to strangers in a crowd and asking questions, but without the fear of physical bodily harm. I didn't get the wallpaper, but I'm on level 3 - but then, I make really cool wallpaper myself.

    I got to level two and didn't get anything! Oh well. Now I'll just go kill myself with disappointment...LOL. It's remarkable how addicted to this site I became. I joined on maybe July 11, and I'm already inching towards level 3.

    I've never gotten anything. I can just see it as one of those things that always say coming soon. That's alright with me though. I always wondered if I get above those levels when the special thank yous are implemented will I still get them or not because I've already passed the level?
