| Jan 25, 2011 at 5:02 | comment | added | iPadDeveloper2011 | OK, thanks heaps, the stackoverflow.com/faq page is what I was after. | |
| Jan 25, 2011 at 4:57 | comment | added | iPadDeveloper2011 | OK. One more thing. I'm wondering when I should "accept" the answer to a question (Even though I don't normally continually change my questions), I often get answers that are not completely satisfying. However I'm thinking that if I don't "accept" an answer, my "accept %" score will go down and people won't want to answer my questions. Should I accept questions that are merely pretty good? Or should I hold-out for a complete answer? | |
| Jan 25, 2011 at 4:56 | comment | added | iPadDeveloper2011 | However I'd still like to be clearer about the implications of up-voting etc. How does "up-voting", "down-voting" effect the users voted for, and myself? How is reputation gained? How do I get "votes" (which I can use to up-vote/down vote users)? | |

| Jan 25, 2011 at 4:54 | comment | added | Pollyanna | @iPad check out the stack overflow.com/faq for more details on the effect of voting, number of votes, cost of voting, etc. Generally, if your question is successfully answered, you should consider accepting an answer after a day or two, and you can simply choose the best answer. If you feel none of the answers really fulfill your needs, you can accept no answer, but if you do that too often others may choose not to answer your questions, thinking you may be hard to please. Consider posting comments with follow up questions to elicit a great answer. | |
| Jan 25, 2011 at 4:44 | comment | added | iPadDeveloper2011 | Yeah, thats what I was thinking. Can you clarify the implications/effects of voting however? Cute icon BTW. | |
