I'm not able to Choose my Best Answers on 4 questions! I've done it once already & it's self explanatory So,?
I just don't understand why it's not allowing me to Choose a Best Answer for my questions! I have also, noticed that it's not allowing me to edit. I tried to edit on a couple questions that I've answered to correct my spelling & and it Reads, Yahoo was experiencing problems at that time and for me to try later. Well, it's been two days already and I see others editing & choosing their Best answers and I'm still not able to choose my Best answer, What's weird is, it lets me do everything else!!! I can still Post a questions and answer questions but unable to choose the best one!!!
If I do not choose, I will not get to thank those that really helped me by giving me the advice, and sharing their knowledge with me!! Keep in mind that, I have chosen a Best Answer already, I chose my Best Answer with my first question I asked on Yahoo and it was also Resolved with no problems! So I know how to choose a Best Answer and Edit it's just not letting me do it again!!
I am new to Yahoo, but it wasn't hard at all, to do the first time!!!! Thanks for your help Will give 5 stars if I'm able to Choose again for the Best Answer and Edit!!!! I have hours now,to be able to choose Best answer Otherwise, it will go into Community Voting it's what I just found out!

All levels can pick a best answer to questions they ask and can vote for best answer on others' undecided questions.
THUMBS UP & DOWN:
Levels 2 and up can 'rate' the answers of other Y!A users. Rating = giving Thumbs Up & Down to express your opinion of other peoples' answers. No points are involved (unless a best answer has TUs, then they get 1 point for each TU up to 50) in rating, and thumbs do not determine the Best Answer selection.
TO PICK YOUR OWN BEST ANSWER:
If you go to your question one hour after you ask your question, a little 'select as best answer' button appears by each answer. Any time between then & when the question expires, click on the one you like best. Y!A then gives you 3 points back & gives the answerer 10 points.
If you miss your chance, the question goes into voting mode. You can still vote for the best answer, but you only get 1 point for your vote.
TO VOTE FOR BEST ANSWERS ON UNDECIDED QUESTIONS:
go to the category of your choice
click on the "in voting" tab
read the question & the answers
click on the 'vote for best answer' button or the 'no best answer' button
you'll earn one point per vote (no point for 'no best answer' though)
You can also go to any question you've answered that the asker didn't pick a BA for and vote for your own answer. It’s a legal way to help resolve the question(s) and to earn yourself some points (1 point for voting as well as any Best Answer points you happen to pick up).

it rather is in basic terms human beings have continually to pare ! Self-explanatory inquiries to purpose the reactions of the members ! Treating the communicate board as a source of information retrieval. asking for for information in doing their homeworks ! Even pro spectacular individuals positioned up stupid,infantile questions. I even have discovered to stay with it.

Do have another try. Sometimes Y!A has glitches. Go back and see if it works now.
Were you on a different computer when you chose a BA the first time? If so, check your current computer for any script-blockers or other add-ons that may be preventing the site from operating fully. Mine does that sometimes. I'll get really frustrated at not being able to click on something, only to find my script-blocker is being effective. Oooops. Temporarily disable your script-blocker and try again, if you think this might be your problem.
