How do you answer a question here? I'm fairly new to "Yahoo Answers."

Okay, how do you answer questions here? I know how to ask, just not answer. Does it not allow you to answer "resolved questions?"

    Of course you can't answer resolved questions. They don't need answers because they have been resolved. I prefer a different method than click on the "answer" link above. I think it works best to look for categories you might have an interest in. You see that each category shows a list of open questions. Pick a question you might want to answer. You'll see the "Answer this question" button beneath each question. I think this works much better because you're in categories you know interest you.

    Find the tab that says answer. click it, scroll down, and look for any Open question to answer, click on the question in blue, which is a link to take you to view the question, under the question will say Answer This Question, click it then type your answer down, in the space box, then click Preview, and click Submit. Answering questions earns you 2 points each. Resolved questions cannot be answered, since they already have their best answer, and they don't need any more answers to it.

    Each question has a 4-day "open" period during which you can post an answer.

    Just go to any question in the Open Questions section

    Click on the blue "Answer this Question" button to start.

    Enter your answer in the Your Answer field

    Include the URLs of any sources you want to reference in the Source(s) field.

    you click on answer. If you see a page of a bunch of questions click on the one you want to read and right under it once it opens is a box that says answer this question. Click that, type your answer select preview then select submit on the next screen . EASY
