You need to wait 4 hours before you can vote for best answer. a blue button will show under each answer. choose your best answer and click the blue button under it. you then can rate with 1-5 stars and leave a comment. You will get 3 points for voting. You have up to four days to vote before it goes to a community vote.

Answer 2

The only difference is when you reach level 2 you start rating answers. With each level you get to ask & answer more questions. That is really the only difference. Go here and it will explain about the points & levels.

You have to wait 4 hours then you can choose best answer. Just go to your question and you will see the blue bar on the answers click on the one that you think is the best answer.

Do not ask so many questions points are taken away. Answer your quota of questions each day. Vote on your quota of undecided questions each day. Give really good answers so maybe your answer will get chosen best answer.

Answering questions=2pts

Best answer=10pts

Visiting YQA each day=1pt

Choosing your own Best answer=3pts

Voting on undecided question =1pt

For each thumbs up on BA = 1 pt up to 50 pts.
