Two questions concerning Yahoo! Answers?
I ask because I can't seem to open yahoo! helpfiles or anything else tonight :|.
Will give best answer to the first person that answers BOTH questions legitamately.
1. What is the star underneath the questions for? Is that a star as in to report bad qs, or a star to report good?
2. Which button underneath a uestion that I've asked do I use to edit my question? I've tried hovering over them, only parts of the url show and they're no help, and I can't get them to do anything when I lcick right now anyway. :/

1) It's just to mark a question as good one. Answers used to have thumbs-up and thumbs-down for questions, but they switched to the star, with which you can't give a question a bad rating.
2) In the toolbar under your question should be a symbol that looks like a pencil or pen. Scroll over that and a list should appear. The first option should be too add details. Once you post your question, you can't change it, not even to correct a misspelled word.

1. The star is good. It means that someone thought your question was interesting and wants to share it with others.
2. The button you click to edit your question is the little pencil, on the far right. The first option is what you want to click, "Add Details." Unfortunately, you can't EDIT your question, but you can add details to clarify what you want to ask.

The star is like the old Thumbs up and down. Only you can only rate good questions. Then it goes in your "stared" list in My Q&A.
Hover over the + sign and click Edit Question.
Hope I helped!
