People ask me more questions after I've been picked Best Answer? How do I answer them?
It's happened a couple of times now... they'll pick me for best answer, and then in the thing where they thank me, they ask me something else? I feel rude for not answering them, but I have no idea how to? I can't find a PM thing on their page... What do I do?

You can click their avatar and see if they allow email or I.M and email them through answers if it shows Email (name) but if the link doesn't show they do not allow emails you can't email them.
>>>For you to send emails you have to allow them and you do not have yours set to allow others to send them to you.
To activate emails >> Click your avatar and then Edit My Preferences.
On the new page Click Privacy & Communications.
Scroll down to "The Answers Community can contact me":
Click this >>>Via Email (Your address will remain private)
>>>Via Yahoo! Messenger (This will make your messenger and Yahoo! ID visible to the Answers community)

If they allow email or IM it will say so on thier Profile page next to their Avatar.
If not, you can add Comments. In the Action bar under the Question will say Comment. Click and type your Comment in the space provided.

look at the action bar right underneath their question you can email them. The bar where you can star people's question on the right hand side there's "email" you can click on it and send your message.
