Why Can't I Choose 'Best Answer' Anymore?

Why don't I get to choose the best answer for the questions that I ask?

  • Why don't I get to choose the best answer for the questions that I ask? The last ? I asked had a best answer chosen by someone other than me and the answer sucked. Can I change it?

  • Answer:

    You can choose Best Answer when your question has been up for 4 hours. If after 4 days you don't get a good answer, you can click Extend Expiration or click Edit and then Ask for a Vote. If you don't choose a Best Answer, put it to a vote, or take steps to extend the question, it automatically goes to a vote after 4 days. Once it goes to a vote, you cannot choose Best Answer anymore.

I'm not very experienced at Yahoo Answers, but I thought the Asker got to pick the "Best Answer." I've asked a couple of questions and got to pick the "Best Answer." Maybe you waited too long to pick. I sure don't know. Maybe another Answerer can shed more light on the situation.

Yes, the person who asked the question has the right to select a best answer, but for a limited time only. If he/she does not do so, it goes to an open situation where anyone can vote for the best answer. If there is a tie, the voting period is extended as a tiebreaker.
