I think AB needs a way of letting you know that you have already answered a question. I have recently found myself accidently answering questions I answered months ago Y!A didnt allow it and thats the only thing I think I liked better there. Anyone agree?

I definitely agree, in fact I had the same thought this morning when I was ABing. In the "question" box there should be a little light or an indicator that says whether you've already answered the question so you don't end up doing it twice. Of course, if you answer a dupe and it gets merged into another question, that will still make it look like you've answered twice, but that's another story. Good thinking.

A while back Galeanda had the perfect remedy for that. When you choose a question point it up right away and then answer. If you ever see that questions again and can't remember if you answered or not ....you will not be able to point it up because you already answered it.
-
maybe your point of view changed or perhaps you have had a recent "brainstorm"? i love to find that and tell the person "one answer per customer".
-
Galeanda had a good solution. If you normally give points check that first. Then you will know if you have answered or not.
-
I get around that by giving points to the question before I write my answer. Whenever I see questions that I can no longer give points to, I know I've answered it.
-
I did that when I could give 4 points and I gave the question another 2 points. Whoops, the suspect meter went off. I looked and found my answer. Puting the points on first is a good idea Babycakes.
-
I used to UR the question before answering, but as I began advancing to higher levels and point values increased, some of those gray pluses became dark again. I now click on the "Is this Conversational or Educational" option after answering a question (because you can only make that choice once).
-
So, how close to answer one was answer two? Contradict yourself big time, or just a wee, perhaps.
-
A few others have mentioned already, but I usually rate the question (and some of the answers), and that way I'll recognize that I already viewed it before.
