HELP! I accidentally gave a thumbs down rating instead of a thumbs up!?

I feel sick about this. The person gave a very nice answer to a question so I went to give a thumbs up. My little son was playing with his car nearby..bumped my elbow and I clicked a thumbs down! Is there any way to change this?

    Too late! You cold send them a message if you feel really bad. Go to their home page by clicking on their pic. See if they accept emails. Good luck!

    No unfortunately you can't they are permanent. Although sometimes if you press back and then you can correct it. I think you should be able to change your rating because sometimes answerer's edit and change their answers. Sometimes i give a thumbs down by accident when i meant to give a thumbs up and i bet that has happened to lots of people. But maybe you can thumbs up one of their best answers, and then they will get an extra point!

    I think yahoo should develop a feature to change or ratings

    pal, good assertion and a outstanding suggestion. A 3 hundred and sixty 5 days back it took place to me as quickly as in a number of those 5 and a million/2 years. comparable difficulty what you probably did.i regretted plenty. greater advantageous they provide some area between them and that i recommend they are in a position to grant shade TO THUMBS UP AND DOWN green AND pink . enable us to work out . whilst all experience comfortable with modern set up, our questioning would be marvelous.

    No you can't change it, and there is no need , feeling sick as many people give thumbs down for fun.

    Do not worry, for it does not really affect the person, but you cannot change the rating

    so go to their page and give some thumbs up to their previous answers. its stupid that they dont let you change your mind though cause i've done that before too

    You can't change this but go back and tell this person that. They will probably feel very much appreciative.
