how do i choose an answer as best answer?

Hello, radiorog8

How to choose a best answer to your question: Wait at least 4 hours, so other people can answer your question. After the 4 hours are done, go to your profile and click on My Questions. Then click on the question that you want to resolved. They should have blue bars that say: 'Choose As Best Answer' and click on it on the answer that you like or that helped you the most. Then rate the best answer with 1-5 stars (1 being unhelpful, 5 being helpful) and comment it & the whole question if you want. Then click OK. There! You have successfully chosen a best answer to your question. You will receive 3 points by doing so and the answerer that you chose as best answer to your question will receive 10 points for it and additional 1-50 points for the thumbs-up their answer has after receiving best answer. Remember to choose the best answer before the deadline to your questions expired because if you don't choose a best answer, then it goes into voting where the Community has to choose the best answer to your question for you since you have failed to do so. You can also vote on it. Also, you can extend your question, so you can have a longer time to choose a best answer before it expires. How to extend your time on the question: Go to the question that you want to extend. See the pencil icon that says: Edit and click on it. Then see Extend Question and click on it. There! You have extend your question. You have 4 days or 6 MORE days (Depends if you extend it earlier or not) for you choose the best answer. Remember, you can ONLY extend it once. So you better choose the best answer before it goes expired! Best wishes and hope it helps.

If you ask questions, you have to wait for four (4) hours after asking the 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.

IF YOU DIDN'T ASK THE QUESTION, to vote on unresolved questions click the "answer" toolbar at the top of the page then click on the "vote" tab and it'll show you a bunch of questions in voting.
