Question

How come sometimes i can choose an answer as the best answer, than sometimes i cant?

Answer 1

Sometimes all of the answers are similar. When that happens, you can choose the one that's worded the best. It could be that at other times, you don't get an answer that works for you or one you want to hear.

Answer 2

If it's your question you must wait at least 4 hours after posting it to choose the best answer.  If you're voting on best answer in someone else's question you must wait until it goes to a vote, then you may only vote once.

Answer 3

You have to wait for four (4) hours after asking a question in order to choose the "best answer." That's to give folks a fair chance to log in and find your question. Many of us log on and off periodically during the day and we may not be online when you posted.

Once the four (4) hours have elapsed, go back to view the question. You can do that by clicking on "My Profile" near the top the page, right hand side under the word "discover."

Once you're at your profile, look under your avatar (photo) and you'll see a list of all the questions you've answered plus a tab you can click to see the questions where you were chosen as "best answer," the questions you've asked and the questions you've starred.

Click on the word questions and you'll see the list of your questions, click the question and it shows you not only the question but all the answers. There will be a blue box under each answer. Click the box of the answer you liked best. You will get 3 points for choosing.

Be sure you pick the "best answer" before the time for answering expires or it'll be too late, it'll go into voting.

Answer 4

Cos sometimes you get some really great answers, and sometimes you dont!!!!!!
