Latest Lists

How often do the "top ten answerers" lists in each section update?

I'm #4 in "General-Outdoor Recreation" Although I've been recieving numerous best answers, the "# of best answers" hasn't changed in a while. There is only a three-answer spread between 3rd, 4th, and 5th place! I wanna know where I'm at! When does Yahoo Answers update the top-ten lists?

1. They used to do it daily. Then, they did it weekly. Sometimes, it gets 'jammed' and it takes weeks before it is updated again. Check out the top ones and find one that is still ACTIVELY answering and getting Best Answers. Watch their numbers. When they finally change, you will know that it has been updated.
2. Yeah, they used to do it daily. Now it seems they do it once a month. It even used to be updated only on Mondays but sometimes I've noticed they'll update it on the weekend or even in the middle of the week, randomly. I'm #3 in Facebook and I've noticed they haven't updated it in a while. I'm actually fine with them not updating it very frequently 'cuz there's a new person who only answers questions no one else answers and then votes for themselves in order to make it on the Top 10 list. When Yahoo doesn't update it, it prevents that person from making it even higher on the list and hopefully dissuades them from continuing that behavior. Uh sorry for the rant but it gives ya an idea of why Yahoo might not update it as frequently.
