Thumbs up? Thumbs down?!
Question:
Thumbs up? Thumbs down?
I know this isn't a pain question but this forum I like the best so I guess I'll ask here-
What do the thumbs up & down mean? How can you access them? You can't click on it. Does it have to do with other people's opinions? I don't get it. Help!
Thanks for explaining. I'm new here.

Get 250 pts. and you'll be on level 2. Then you can "rate" answers with "thumbs up" and "thumbs down." Just click on the “thumbs up” icon to give someone a “thumbs up” and show you approve of or like their answer; same but reverse meaning with “thumbs down,” click on the icon to show you disapprove or don’t like the answer.. It doesn’t cost you any points to “rate” an answer but, once you do rate, you’re stuck with that rating. You can’t later change your mind and decide they don’t deserve the “thumbs up” or have regrets about giving a “thumbs down.” They’re forever.
Stars are ways to show approval for questions. You click on the star icon to give a star, click on the same place to remove your star after you give it. No points involved..
Answer a question and get 2 pts. Ask a question and lose 5 pts. Choose the "best answer" to your question and get 3 of those 5 pts. back. Be chosen as "best answer" and get 10 pts. plus 1 bonus pt. for each "thumbs up" your answer received. There’s no deduction for “thumbs down.”
Anyone, even people on level 1, can "vote" but it's not the same as "rating" with thumbs up/down.
Vote for "best answer" on unresolved questions “in voting” and you get 1 pt. per question. You can vote by clicking on the “answer” toolbar at the top of the page then click on the “vote” tab or, when you see the list of questions available in a particular category, there’s a “vote” tab at the top of the questions. Either way, if you vote then you earn a point per question and help pick the “best answer.”
You also get 1 pt. every day for just logging in. It’s as easy as that!
Good luck, you'll be on level 2 in no time and then aim for level 3 (1,000 to 2,499 pts.)
