Christian asked in Yahoo ProductsYahoo Answers · 10 years ago

It's that I get a best answer from a question from two years ago. So my question is:?

Does anyone at Yahoo actually know whats going on in here ???

Update:

So then my answer is, Yahoo really doesn't know what is going on around here... I was the only answer to this particular question. It takes Yahoo users to clean up what Yahoo can't get right ?!?!?! No wonder Google is taking over !!!

    I would say yes, it sounds like someone has been voting on questions in a category that has questions which are two years old, that is how your answer was picked as the best answer. I do a lot of voting and in some categories the questions are three years old!

    Questions can stay in voting for years. There are groups of YA users who team to clean categories of these old in voting questions. They just ran across one and voted you best answer.
