Wow!  I was seriously considering asking this very question!  I'm new to Yahoo Q&A and didn't know if it's ok to vote for your own answer, or if it's a breach of some unwritten etiquette.\n\nI personally look for the best answer to the question.  Does it answer the question?  Does it consider all aspects of the question (sometimes there's more than one part)?  Is it thoughtful and sincere?  Is it respectful of others' views, even if in disagreement with them?  etc.  \n\nI have voted for my own answer in a number of cases but only because I thought my answer met the above criteria above and beyond what others have offered.  But if someone else's answer meets the criteria (even if mine does, as well), I will vote for theirs instead.  \n\nIn the event there is no "best answer," I vote for the one that makes me laugh.  : )  \n\nThanks for asking this question!  I can't wait to see what differing opinions will be!  (Plus you saved me 5 points from asking it myself!  lol)  ; ) \n\nCheers!

Was it put to a vote, or did the asker choose a best answer?  \n\nIf it came to a vote, vote on the answer you think is best, and then come back when the question is resolved, and in the "comments" section, put your answer.\n\nIf the asker chose a best answer, go add your comment now.

YA says questions will stay open for voting for 7 days, and if tied, will stay open in 12 hour intervals until the tie is broken.\n\nHere's a link to more info on voting from YA:

It takes a day before you can choose an answer or let it go for a vote.

The persons before have a point especially the first one.\nIt could have been a bug messing around in Yahoo! supercomputer.\nOnce I experienced a similar problem, the "Answer This Question" tab was there but when I clicked on it, Yahoo! said "Oops! You may not take the action."\n\nWait for it to restore.\nIt could take weeks.

I have no clue, but if there were a "Best Question" classification here, I would vote for yours, my friend. Brilliant question.

Yep, their database servers have some serious problems sometimes. I've voted on answers before and gotten no points for it, which was very sad.

same deal here, I can help, or look for an answer if you tell me what your looking for or what voting process? Hit me up if you need an answer.

I wouldn't worry too much about it.  There are so many people on here that even if you think you gave an awesome answer, it might not be the answer that the person is looking for (that has happened to me many times!).  Also, on some questions, you may be up against an expert on whatever subject that the question is about.\n\nOne thing that you can do is go through the questions you've answered and vote on the ones that have been sent to voting.  You can vote for your own answer, if you want.\n\nGood luck - I'm sure if you answer enough questions, you are bound to get a best answer at some point!

In My Q&A, there is a function where you can view your questions and answers. Under questions you can look at all the questions that you asked. To vote for someone else's answer as a best answer just click on the button to vote for them in the question and answer page. Usually the ones that are most detailed and offer an opinion are the ones that I choose, so hopefully you'll get to choose me :)

The first thing I do is check to see if their any new answers to my questions. I absoutley love the polls& surveys section. The questions and answers there are the most fun :)

choose the answer that you feel answers your question the best, if you're unsure then leave it for voting.

As was mentioned, after the question period expires, if there is more than one answer to a question, Yahoo! Answers will automatically put the question up for a vote.\n\nHowever, if there is only one answer to your question, then the question will remain in limbo until at least one other person answers the question, then it will go to a vote.\n\nQuestions put up to a vote which have no majority winning will sit in limbo as well until someone's vote breaks the tie.

I don't know.  It is one of my pet peeves.  I mean usually the votes end in a tie with everyone voting for themselves.  Too bad more people aren't like you.  It agitates me when I know I had a potential best answer but lost out because the person didn't even choose one. \n\nActually, I guess I am becoming obsessed with this site.  What does it really matter if I get 10 points anyway?  I get some sort of euphoric rush when I get a best answer.

You can only vote on questions that the askee has called a vote on. \n\nSee the following page for a list of voting questions:\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/dir/;_ylt=AlCCMwlt55tE825Bq9pZI_Lpy6IX?link=vote&sid=&s=&more=y
