Frequently Asked Questions

How do I create a question?
Once you have created a free account, you can create questions from your profile page.
The first area that appears on your profile page allows you to do the following:
            1)  type in your question
            2)  Enter the choices users can pick as an answer
            3)  Allocate how many days/hours you want the question to be open for users to
                 answer
            4)  Include a link from YouTube, Flickr, or a link to an article  that will appear 
                 once the question is posted
            5)  Then you click submit to have it posted!

Can I answer questions that I have created?
Sorry, but if you have created a question, you can not answer it.  You are responsible for
settling the question once the answer has been determined

What do I do once I’ve determined the correct answer to a question I’ve created?
You simply go to your profile page, find the question you created, and then click on the
correct answer to the question.  This will Settle it!

What is Unsettled and Settled mean?
Unsettled questions are the ones where the answer has not yet been determined.  For questions you create, you are responsible for closing out the question once a correct answer has been determined.  You do this by simply mousing over the correct answer choice and then click on it.  Once you do this, the question becomes Settled since the correct answer has been selected by the person who created the question.

I don’t get the Following/Followers thing?
Following is the people you are interested in and have decided to follow.  Questions are
created by people you follow will magically appear in your profile page.

Followers are those people who think you are cool and have decided to follow you.  So
whenever you create a question, it will appear on their profile page

Why is there a count down on some questions?  Is my screen about to explode?
No, no.  Nothing is about to explode.  The count down shows everyone how much time is
left for you to select your answer to the question.  Once the count down goes to zero, a
date pops up instead telling you when the question was created.

How do I get my question to the front page?
You want as many people as possible to answer you question.  So, ask your friends on
Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Plurk, or wherever to place a “guesstimate” to your
question!  Or another cool tool is the Share withFriend(s) feature that is built within the
site.  This allows for you to invite you friends to answer your question.  Finally, it does
not hurt to have a huge base of Followers.
