    To select best answer for your own questions.

    =================================

    You need to wait for 4 hours after you submit the question and then go back to the question, you will have a blue tab under each answer, "Choose as Best Answer", click the tab on the answer you consider to be the best. Rate the answer 1-5 stars, add a comment if you wish, click submit, you're done. 3 points back.

    To vote for undecided questions.

    um actually you are not an idiot, it is a little confusing. You have to access this option through your email. You click where it says that someone has answered your question and then you view that question. After a certain amount of days when you do this there should be a choose best answer button in blue. I am not sure if these directions are 100% accurate but pretty close, if you do this or something close it should be pretty self-explanitory I assume.

    you got to wait for the question to be a couple hours old, so that there could be a lot of answers to choose from. Then there would be a BIG BLUE BUTTON that says "choose as best answer"; press it, and you are done.
