Why aren't the people asking questions using the thumbs up/down rating next to the answers?
I go back to all the answers that people have written to my questions and give them a rating good or bad.

That provides feedback about the helpfulness of my answers, sorta a grade or report card, though some folks have cursed me...even in personal emails, and then, said I was the BEST answer!!!
Then said they didn't use that (my BEST) answer!

"Yahoo solutions won't enable me answer questions". What do you advise by utilising this fact? without greater information that's impossible to wager what problems you may nicely be having. Answering questions is amazingly ordinary: you basically click the blue 'answer' button on an open question, write your answer, and post it. Which element of the technique are you having situation with? score solutions with thumbs up or down does no longer provide you factors and you may no longer do it until eventually you get to point 2 besides. even nevertheless you may vote on unresolved questions - you get one element for each vote. Asking a query expenditures 5 factors so, while you nonetheless ask questions without ever answering any, your factors will proceed to circulate down and you will not at all attain point 2. I see you have an excellent sort of unresolved questions on your profile, so for you to get 3 factors back for each of those by utilising picking a maximum suitable answer. once you're nonetheless having problems, you may upload greater information on your question by utilising technique of the Edit button on the action bar under your question.

I think the thumbs up/down are for the ones who are answering. You are asking a question so let the ones who are answering decide if it is good or bad. Understand ?
