Barbara asked in Yahoo ProductsYahoo Answers · 1 decade ago

Having received a PERFECT answer, but only one, how can I rate it as best?

My question regarding Drysdale's location was answered almost immediately, and exactly the information I needed. I don't seem to be able to rate it 'BEST" ... because there's only one answer?

    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.

    This is easy..especially if you want a quick best answer and have been given it..just wait 4 hours and go give your 10 points to that answer..do not worry about reading any others that may come in during that time..it is also the fairest way to give your best answer ratings away!

    I've had only one answer before and was able to rate it as "best." You just have to wait a few hours.
