Answer 1

Those stars don't show up in any list, they are only displayed underneath the question and your BA.

Answer 2

Hello There,

The Stars which are given/marked when a Best Answer is selected on your Answer is just to show how well your Answer was written!

Eg:- ♦1 Star signifies that your Answer was Decent and Poorly(Averagely) written

       ♦5 Stars signify that your Answer was written in a thorough and    Informative Manner.

These Stars do NOT show up anywhere on your Profile or they don't get accumulated anywhwere.

♦Stars are also given when someone marks your Question Interesting .This is different from the above Stars which are given when someone marks your Answer as the Best Answer.

♦You can give stars by clicking the 'STAR ICON'  which says Interesting just below a question. It turns 'GOLDEN' .To view the number of stars you've received click on your Avatar. Then scroll down in the 'Activity Summary' you can see 'STARS RECEIVED'...If one stars your question it encourages the others to give you one and it then spreads like a wildfire if you have more number of contacts

♦Also the more stars you get to your question it'll be nominated to be put up on the 'BEST OF ANSWERS' category on the home page by random selections of Yahoo team.

I hope that explains all the things about stars!!

Best Wishes ♫♪
