If you "accept" an answer, then the points are allocated and the question is closed. If you "reject" and answer, then that person does not get any points.

You cannot allocate points per se.... the points are allocated automatically (and divided amoung all the answers you accepted) when you close the question.

You are also changing the default point allocation, when you ask the question, from 150 to 0. There's is a minimum value that will be allocated amoung the accepted answers (I do not know what that minimum is though).

Go ahead and "rate" my answer. It will ask you to accept or to reject... and give you the option to close the question at the time.

Generally, you'll want to print the responses, test the answers, come back in and accept the one that is correct and reject the rest and close the question.

If none of the responses help, then add comments to your original question giving more details so that we might be able to assist you further.

It's best not to reject any answer --- until you wish to close the question -- so that people may help futher by attaching more comments to their original answer.

pls answer my question. i think my statement is clear. there is nothing else than an answer button which i do not want to use.

i cannot add any comments here if i do not rate!
if i accept an answer but its not acceptable it will stay open...
if i rate unacceptable(the way it really is) it will be closed an nobody can give any answer anymore..... that is very strange,useless and stupid. techrepublique where are you? pls give up this system or improve. i know there is a way to leave it open and give a comment or answer? why this stupid difference. answer is answer or comment.
