How do you choose Best Answer after you ask a question on yahoo answers?

You can only select a best answer after 4 hours and before 4 days of posting the question. Once enough time has past a blue box that says 'Choose as Best Answer' should appear under each answer. Click on the one UNDER the answer you wish to give best answer to.

If you wait over 4 days, then it will go into voting and you will not be able to choose a best answer, but only submit a vote for the best.

You must wait for 4 hours after you ask a question , but not longer than 4 days to choose a Best answer to a question you ask.

On the top right of the page here on the site you will see a Green tab that says [ My Profile ] click it

Scroll down to the green [My Questions] tab ( these are all the ones you have asked)

Click on the question you have received your Best Answer for & under the Answer that best answers your question click the Choose Best Answer button. then rate it's helpfulness with stars & leave a comment for it or any other answers you received if you would like .Then Submit.

You have now chosen a Best answer for your question as the asker . You will also receive 3 points back for doing so in the time period given to do this .

If you do not do it before 4 days the answers will go to voting the community gets to chose your best answer for you by which answer gets the most votes*
