Why is it that when you answer a question on EP, you sometimes appear out of chronological order?

Yes, your observation is correct, PaulDoe. I had that problem of wondering and searching when I first came on EP.

Takes a while to learn the ropes in here. I remember when I first came on--I didnt even know why I couldnt answer or reply to the members in here after placing my questions when I could do it when I *created a topic* the last time.

The last time was actual a different domain ;0( It was under story or experiences.

So you learn as you go along--the more adventurous you are, the more you will learn. Others will help you along the way when they are not half awake or asleep lol. ALternatively, EP team can help too.

(If you had been here long enough to accumulate trophies and such or have a good reputation, your answers appear on top. I dont know if this were true--just another of my observation)

Enjoy Nowsure ;0) Nice to see you again.

The answers that are voted up by other people appear further up.

If you look at the answers, at the bottom right corner of each one is a "+1" or "+2." You can click the thumbs up button to give the answer a higher score, thus pushing it higher up.

I was wondering the same thing too yesterday.

not sure why either
i've noticed it but i never gave it much thought
