How do you pick a "best answer"?

Question

How do you pick a "best answer"?

Answer 1

You have to wait a couple of hours before it comes up, then you will see it.  When you come back to your question page it will say, Pick best answer, beneath each of the answers.... then you click that button for the one you think was best.  Hey... can I have best answer for this???  Please???? lol

Answer 2

Log in to your yahoo mail and check the answers you got in your imbox, click on it and it will lead you straight to all the answers and at the bottom of each answer there is a thing you can click on says, Choose as best answer.

Answer 3

I pick the one I like the best.  Sometimes it's just a good & appropriate answer, other times it's one that is funny or flattering!  If I get an answer worth getting (imaginary) points for, I pick it.  If not, I don't choose a best answer.

Answer 4

Just click the Best answer button next to my name. =D

You should pick me since I can probably service you physically, mentally, and sexually if you want.

Answer 5

I am a sucker for the funniest answer, so I normally go with that.

Also if the person has like 2% est answer I will give them the best answer over a top contributor, because most likely the top contributor just copy and pasted something they already had.

Answer 6

There should be a button to click...check your email- you must wait 3 hrs to pick one

Answer 7

Some folks don't pick a best answer - rather they let voters choose.

Some folks pick the answer that best matches their preconceived notion of what the answer should be . . . regardless of it is wrong or not.

Some folks appear to ask and then forget - so no best answer is selected (as voting is tied)

When I'm voting for best answer, I'll look for a couple of things - the correct information, perhaps some humor in the response, perhaps a source, no rude/mean-spirited answers - yes, you can have a differing opinion on whatever subject, but you don't have to be an @$$ about it.

Answer 8

wait 3 to 4 hours and then go back on your anser it says pick a best ander you pick one then it says something like send him somehing or lyk that but him and the public can see it there hope this helped

Answer 9

Not whichever one is most thorough, unless I ASKED for thorough.  People who give me a 10 page response seem very obnoxious.

It can be succinct, as long as its honest and respectful.  Bonus points for anything that makes me laugh.

Answer 10

you read everyones answer and choose the answer you feel has helped you the best.

Answer 11

Usually it's pretty easy, since only one or two actually ANSWER the question.

Most of the time, people pick at some part of the question and then go on a rant about it (or they just hit you with a one-liner on that particular component of the question).  Very few actually answer the question in the context that it is presented.

Answer 12

you click on the big blue box that says "vote as best answer"

it's EXTREMELY difficult. you might have to get someone to help you with it...

Answer 13

you have to wait until the question asks you to vote for the best answer. once you vote you can write why you voted for it and the person will receive the message. just wait until the big blue "vote" button turns up for all of the answerers.

Answer 14

I go with my gut completely.  Doesn't matter whose answer it was or anything like that - no favorites.

Answer 15

I usally pick the one that either makes me laugh out loud or one that is clever or makes me think

Answer 16

You look for one for me, then click "Vote as Best Answer"
