I see the Thumbs up and Thumbs down icons on Yahoo answers... but How do you vote?

Get 250 pts. and you'll be on level 2. Then you can "rate" answers with "thumbs up" and "thumbs down." Just click on the “thumbs up” icon to give someone a “thumbs up” and show you approve of or like their answer; same but reverse meaning with “thumbs down,” click on the icon to show you disapprove or don’t like the answer.. It doesn’t cost you any points to “rate” an answer but, once you do rate, you’re stuck with that rating. You can’t later change your mind and decide they don’t deserve the “thumbs up” or have regrets about giving a “thumbs down.” They’re forever.

Stars are ways to show approval for questions. You click on the star icon to give a star, click on the same place to remove your star after you give it. No points involved..

Answer a question and get 2 pts. Ask a question and lose 5 pts. Choose the "best answer" to your question and get 3 of those 5 pts. back. Be chosen as "best answer" and get 10 pts. plus 1 bonus pt. for each "thumbs up" your answer received. There’s no deduction for “thumbs down.”

Vote for "best answer" on unresolved questions “in voting” and you get 1 pt. per question. You also get 1 pt. every day for just logging in. It’s as easy as that!

Good luck, you'll be on level 2 in no time and then aim for level 3 (1,000 to 2,499 pts.)

you can't rate thru 'thumbs up'(good) or 'thumbs down(bad) until you are at least a level 2 answerer (you have to earn 250 points in total at least)

BUT you can put vote the "undecided or tiebreaker questions" by clicking "answer" button on the Yahoo! Toolbar and click "vote for best answers"

come to the web page,select your category and click "vote" on the upper-right of the list

now you have to click the question undecided and select one of its answer as the best by clicking "choose as the best answer" below the answers' in blue link button.

Donkey_kong is correct thumbing a answer is called rating and at level one you just can't rate an answer, you must be at level 2 which is 250 points. then this function should work.

if your a level 2 and up then you can do this.

You need to reach 250 points to get to level 2 i just got it : )

click on the vote for a best answer botton and then you earn one point!

try it out!

I seem to have the same problem..
