Interesting stars

They look so pretty, but what do they do ?

Stars are used to mark a question as interesting within the community.

While stars have no point value, they are very useful for the following reasons

Every time a user stars your question, it is shared with that user's community contacts and fans. The more people who know about the question, the more answers...

Secondly, any question that is starred is automatically eligible to be selected at random to be placed on the popular list on the Yahoo! Answers homepage. Very popular questions may be reviewed and featured on the homepage scroll bar.

Lastly, stars help you to determine who your fans are, allowing you to select contacts that may share common interests with you. It's also a bit of an ego boost knowing that someone out there may have really liked the question.

All the best
