There doesn,t seem to be much point in voting if your choice comes up as something different.Anyone else had this problem?

The answers get shuffled around after a vote has been cast.
I think that Yahoo tried this to stop the point gaming by making it harder for people to vote for their own answer.
That's the reason you see all the signs, signatures and hieroglyphics at the bottom of many answers now.

They started shuffling the answers around after one is voted for. I notice that the answer I vote for will automatically go down to the bottom.

Thats because another 3 people have also voted for that answer. How else do you think the higher percentage wins?

i agree with everyone else and think it's really annoying. i mean, c'mon, people are always going to find a way to cheat. and the points mean nothing on yahoo answers. i guess it stops some people, but those who are really determined will always find a way to get more points.

All answers will show up in a different order each time you view the question. It is randomly sorted
