How do you know when to vote or rate?
How many best answers do you have?
I am hoping that Yahoo! Answers team would just add subcategories to the “My Answers” section. Ideally the following:
- Resolved (no more action possible, no rating no voting)
- Best Answers
- Undecided (in voting)
- Open
While thinking about this I thought – why ‘reinvent the wheel’?
The Browser can do this!
Currently I am bookmarking all my answers into one Y!Answers folder with above subfolders.
First they go into Open.
When I am selected for Best answer – just move the bookmark into Best Answers.
Now I only have to check daily for the Open folder.
Coolest thing is, Firefox and Opera allow to open all bookmarks of one folder in tabs! That makes the checkup for action a matter of a few minutes.
However it took me some time to go through all my existing questions and move them into the right category.
Now tell me what do you do?
Anybody using RSS for that or maybe homemade Software?
You have WAY TOO MUCH TIME on your hands!!
I was just hoping the would add a feature for these things I have no idea what you are talking about with your bookmarks and tabs sounds way too confusing to me.
I really don’t keep track of my answers but I hope the Y! Answers Team finds an easier wasy to browse through questions, answers, & the leaderboard.
I asked a similar question around a month ago. I then submitted it to the Yahoo Answers team through the ‘Help us improve Yahoo! Answers. Tell us what you think’ that’s at the bottom of every page. It’s just coming out of Beta testing though, so I’m sure they’re furiously improving away as we type!
Considering I have over 2200 answers, I wouldn’t go through that much trouble to sort them out. I mainly just keep a few in my watchlist that I’ve asked for details on so I could better answer their question. I would like to see a Y! Answers feature that would sort them all out for me, though. I hope it’s one of the things they have in the works.
Actually, we think this is a very worthwhile idea. We’ve had several users suggest that the profile’s answer listing would be more usable if it were sortable in various ways. This has gone on our internal list of user suggestions that are being considered for incorporation into Answers. (We really need a shorter name for that.) Thank you, everyone.
