    Hello,

    In level 1, you can ask 5 questions, answer for 20 questions and vote for 20 undecided questions in a day.

    That's the daily limit that Yahoo Answers have set. If you would like to ask more, increase your points to 250. You can ask 10 questions and answer 40 questions.

    Check this link, you will know all about the points and levels. http://answers.yahoo.com/info/scoring_system;_ylt=...

    All the Best.

    Yahoo! Answers employee Jane said;

    "These limits help new members get to know a bit more about Yahoo! Answers before they start just asking and answering like crazy. While it may seem really restrictive sometimes, it can also help new members realize what questions are worth more to answers rather than just answering a bunch of polls. If you aren't already, be sure to vote on undecided questions also. Not only will this help good answers be rewarded, but it will also help you progress to the next level more quickly."

    You need to establish when your day starts. It is midnight California time so work out your time zone from there.

    It's to keep spammers from coming here, opening accounts and flooding the boards with their cr@p.

    By the time someone works up to 5,000 points, they've proven themselves to be reliable individuals and then there's no limits.

    On limit 1, there's a 5 question and 20 answer limit.
