Ask the asker, how do I chose a best answer?

I'm probably going to hit myself on the head when I figure this out, but as of now, I'm stumped. Please help?

    You have to wait for four (4) hours after asking a question in order to choose the "best answer." That's to give folks a fair chance to log in and find your question. Many of us log on and off periodically during the day and we may not be online when you posted.

    Once the four (4) hours have elapsed, go back to view the question. You can do that by clicking on "My Profile" near the top the page, right hand side under the word "discover."

    Once you're at your profile, look under your avatar (photo) and you'll see a list of all the questions you've answered plus a tab you can click to see the questions where you were chosen as "best answer," the questions you've asked and the questions you've starred.

    Click on the word questions and you'll see the list of your questions, click the question and it shows you not only the question but all the answers. There will be a blue box under each answer. Click the box of the answer you liked best. You will get 3 points for choosing.

    Be sure you pick the "best answer" before the time for answering expires or it'll be too late, it'll go into voting.

    You wait 4 hours after you asked the question. Please pick me. You know you want to. Here's a joke. >>> >A blonde calls her boyfriend and says, "Please come

    over here and help me. I have a killer jigsaw

    puzzle, and I can't figure out how to get

    started."

    Her boyfriend asks, "What is it supposed to be when

    it's finished?"

    The blonde says, "According to the picture on the

    box, it's a rooster."

    Her boyfriend decides to go over and help with the

    puzzle.

    She lets him in and shows him where she has the

    puzzle spread all over

    the table.

    He studies the pieces for a moment, then looks at the box, then turns to

    her and says,

    "First of all, no matter what we do, we're not going

    to be able to assemble these pieces into anything

    resembling a rooster."

    He takes her hand and says, "Second, I want you to

    relax. Let's have a nice cup of tea, and then ."

    he said with a deep sigh, . .. . . . . .

    "Let's put all the Corn Flakes back in the box."

    There should be a button under the answer saying "choose this as best answer" or whatnot. You just pick whichever one helped you most.

    after a few hours the button will show up, after that point you can click it and choose the answer you like best.

    It all depends on who was the most helpful with answering your question.

    And if you got what you were looking for, answer wise.
