In Yahoo! Answers, only some questions are getting marked as Best Answer in my Q & A. Is this a bug?
-
Among the questions that I have answered and got selected as "Best Answer" by the voters, many of them do not appear with the "Best Answer" in orange indication. Here are a few samples of questions that was chosen as Best Answer. It does not show up as Best Answer on the My Answer list (there are many more): http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApEP35emnmOEkrbDCQWjtpTsy6IX?qid=1006022401435 http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArpBPefkhK0K.pd6ugUA0rHsy6IX?qid=1006032000871 I think this is a defect in Yahoo! Answer. Or is there some rule for Best Answer I do not know about? Also, don't you think there should be a way to sort answers based on status (open/in voting/resolved/best answer/all answers)?

Normally, even Answers that are Voted as the Best Answers are indicated in Orange - besides those that are 'Chosen by the Askers'. [Incidentally, this orange colour was only introduced recently.] Before that, one would only know that one's Answer had been chosen as the best - if an e-mail was received, to that effect ! ...Until the 'Best Answers' feature was introduced, I frequently did not even KNOW that my answer had been chosen - because only the last 6 activities concerning one's Q & A would be displayed on one's Home Page ! ...Perhaps your answers had got chosen by Voters, during that recent interim-period of transition to the orange coloured 'Best Answer' indicators - and hence, have been missed by both the old and new systems of marking the 'Best'. ...I can only guess ! The only persons who can really shed light on your problem are the Y!AB Team's Members - and I too would like to hear their answer on this topic.

I think Yahoo still has some glitch to work out, I went through your best answers, and yes it doesn't show those questions that have your answer as best, marked by orange. yahoo is still working out all the bugs out, and its still beta-testing, maybe few more months until they fixed everything, and complete Yahoo Beta. As for answers based on status,i do agree with, they should mor categories like that, especially "Tie-Breaker, and only one answer to a question more than 2 weeks".
