    What is "Vote as Best Answer?"

    Resolution

    Yahoo! Answers is unique in that the Asker or the Answers community can pick the best answer to a question. Think of it as something between a message board and a user-generated information repository like Wikipedia. When a question is asked, it initially remains open to receive answers for 4 days, but can be extended at any time to remain open for a total of 8 days.

    If one or more answers are collected, the Asker can either pick the best answer after 1 hour or extend the open period for four additional days to allow more time for answers to be posted. If the Asker takes no action to resolve the question, the answers are automatically put to a vote by the community, along with a No Best Answer choice.

    If a question doesn't receive any answers, the question expires and is deleted.

    A question becomes a Resolved Question when a Best Answer is chosen. After a question becomes Resolved it stays in Yahoo! Answers and is available for searching and browsing*. The Best Answer remains open to receive comments and ratings from the community.

    Because questions don't remain open for answers indefinitely, a Best Answer will represent only the “best” of those answers posted during the 8-day period as determined by the Asker or the community vote, and may not be a complete or accurate answer. It's important to remember that Resolved Questions are written by Yahoo! users, not experts hired by Yahoo!. (Please see our Answers disclaimer.)

    *Resolved questions can still be reported and deleted if the question or the Best Answer is in violation of the Community Guidelines or the Terms of Service.

    To choose a Best Answer to your question:-

    You must wait for a minimum of one hour or more.

    Click onto your question.

    Read through each answer and decide which one is the best answer.

    Once you have chosen your Best Answer, click the blue button underneath the answer "Choose as Best Answer".

    Rate the answer by the number of stars.

    Comment on the answer if you want to.

    Click OK

    Once you clicked ok, then the system automatically gives the answerer 10 points.

    You have to wait 1 hour after your question has posted to choose a best answer. After that, then you will see "Choose as best answer" click on that below their answer. Then, you will be asked to rate their answer. One star means it wasn't good but their answer was the only one there. Five stars mean they hit it right on the dot. They had an excellent answer. Then, you will be asked to leave a comment. Some people just put "-" or something like that because they have nothing to say. Others will say "I agree" or "Thank You". You just have to leave something in the comment area when selecting a best answer. Then, after that, you hit submit and your question is now resolved.
