Why can't I give the thumbs up or thumbs down to answers I get?

Question

Why can't I give the thumbs up or thumbs down to answers I get?

Answer 1

You need to be level 2 or higher to do that.

"Thumbs Up" are ratings.

Answer 2

Because you are only Level 1.

Answer 3

Your still at level 1. You need to be at level 2. To reach level 2, you need to get 250 points.  :)

Answer 4

Get 250 pts. and you'll be on level 2. Then you can "rate" answers with "thumbs up" and "thumbs down."

Answer a question and get 2 pts. Ask a question and lose 5. Choose the "best answer" to your question and get 3 of those 5 back.

Be chosen as "best answer" and get 10 pts. plus 1 bonus pt. for each "thumbs up" your answer received.

Vote for "best answer" on unresolved questions where the asker was too lazy to choose "best answer" and you get 1 pt. per question. You also get 1 pt. every day for just logging in. It’s as easy as that!

Good luck, you'll be on level 2 in no time and then aim for level 3 (1,000 to 2,499 pts.)
