    I once got three best answers for the same question on one of the famous Yahoo glitch days. I've had a two year old BA, four looks like the record.

    Four years could be a record.

    I've had several from between two and four months ago recently.

    Oh and the claim about me being part of the moderators responsible for clearing the backlog.....another myth started by someone close to the top of the leader board ...as was his claim that I have a special report code.....

    Source(s): Just did my bit and voted for around twenty unresolved.....none going back more than a few months though. I think I helped to close a few but did as Disgruntled said added to the tiebreak on others.

    I've had one pop up out of the blue but it was a few weeks old, not years.

    So 4 years sounds like a record to me

  • How do you think about the answers? You can sign in to vote the answer.
  • Lol I've had one or two old ones all of a sudden but never that old, probably means someone got bored and decided to vote through some tied ones, I've done this myself but frustratingly you don't see which ones were tied till after you've voted and sometimes find you've added another answer to the tie so it still isn't resolved!

    Anyway, nice little surprise for you on a Monday morning:)

    I've had a best answer from 5 years ago, no kidding. (Sad, I know).

  • 8 years ago

    I reckon it is.

    How on earth does that happen?

    I once got a series of V.N`s. for answers that went back more than 2 years though, but I understand how that happened.

    @ Death Dealer ... I got reported once for using a foreign language on a question that was asking for a translation from English to Japanese. Some people eh?

    That's nothing...I get points for answers to questions that I

    never replied to ! Sounds like a Yahoo, Comedy Hour, doesn't it ?

    Well done Christine on at least two accounts. One for your amazing perseverance with Y/A. And two; all good things come to those who wait and deserve. You deserve, but I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. Hope it's the former. xx
