Pretty new to this forum and can someone explain to me exactly how to operate thumbs up and thumbs down?
I know it sounds simple, but I have voted and seen the thumbs up get registered. I don't see how to register the thumbs down though. Also I have seen best answers chosen by voters that have less thumbs up than the answer that was chosen by voters.ie answer 1, 3 thumbs up, no thumbs down wasn't a best answer and 2 thumbs up and 1 thumbs down was the best answer by the voters. Then just one more is how does the questioner choose the best answer. Sorry but like I said, I'm new to the forum.

You need to be at level 2 to be able to vote a thumbs up/down and looking at your details, you're only at level 1.
The best answer is chosen by the person asking the question and so it's totally subjective and has nothing to do with how many thumbs up/down it has. It's all about whether the person asking the question felt it addressed what they wanted to know.
