Why on the first page when you log on....?
does it show people getting 80 or 90 or in that area thumbs up and just about as many stars on the sample questions that go from one to the next, I never see it on questions asked here normally.

I think you are talking about "The Best of Answers".
This "category" includes questions and answers that Yahoo! team choose to be displayed on the Yahoo! Answers home page.
They choose these questions mainly in terms of the subject of them as well as the stars they received.
So, if you post such an interesting question and it received a large number of stars, the question will have a chance to be displayed on this category.
You may also realize that being displayed on the Yahoo! Answers front page, these questions have increasing probability to receive more and more stars as well as thumbs up and down for their answers.
