    If you go to your yahoo answers profile it should tell you all of that. On your home page click on your name next to your picture. Your name should be blue. If you click on the My Questions tab it should show you any questions that you have asked. Then you can pick your best answer.

    You can make additional comments by going in to your question and selecting it from the drop down list that is on the very right of the little icons under your question. Sorry I am forgetting what the actual symbol is for the drop down list.

    You can rate someones answer or question by clicking on the thumbs up or thumbs down icons. Thumbs up means you agree and thumbs down means you disagree. If you get more thumbs downs then ups your rating is less.

    I hope I answered most of your question.
