    There are 4 ways,to be exact:

    -->Email the user(s) you want to respond to(only possible if both you and that user Emailing options are enabled).

    -->IM the user(s) you want to respond to(only possible if both of you and that user IM options are enabled).

    Provided that they allow their Emailing options.To enable this:

    -->Go to your"My Activity"

    -->click"Edit My Preferences"

    -->click"Privacy & Communications"

    -->Tick this/these box/es next to

    "The Answers Community can contact me:

    (box should be here)Via Email (Your address will remain private)

    (box should be here)Via Yahoo! Messenger (This will make your messenger and Yahoo! ID visible to the Answers community)"

    -->click"Submit" to save your setting.

    Go to their profile and if you find there are 1 or 2 enabled emailing options,then you can send message(s) to them

    something like this:

    "IM (ID)"

    "Email (username)"

    -->When you choose a Best Answer,you can give a feedback about their answer/comment.(You need at least 60 minutes/1 hour to choose a Best Answer)

    -->Via"Additional Details.However,this one is risky as it can turn your innocent question(s) into a chat question(s)/forum(s) and have higher chance of getting reported.The chance become much higher if you put sarcastic remark(s) and insult(s) to other user(s).

    Take care.

  • Y!A is not a chat room. It is a knowledge-seeking site in a question & answer format.

    You have three options:

    You can go to the user's profile & see if they accept IMs and/or emails. If so (and you allow them too) you can contact them that way.

    You can make 'comments' when you pick your Best Answer.

    You can use the 'add details' function to add additional information to make your question more complete or understandable. Be careful what you add though, you don't want to have your question reported as a chatting violation.

    Yahoo Answers is not a chat site so you have to be careful not to be chatting, The best way however, you could click on their avatar, if they accept ims or emails click on the appropriate one and follow the prompts. If the question is still open: click on the "edit" link below your question then "add details" add your note, preview and submit. The very best time to comment is when you choose best answer to your question.

    You can add additional details to your question as long as it is pertaining to the question. Go to the question and click the pencil icon under the question, click Add Details.

    Be very careful on commenting back because it could be considered as chat.
