How do you compare this one with Yahoo Answers. Yahoo makes it very easy to find the most useful answer in a long thread.

Definitely happy to have your feedback whether you install or not.

This mod has a lot of similarities to the Yahoo Answers site in letting users rate responses which they also do. Future visitors can then identify the more popular/ trusted answers out of the overall batch.

The feature you're talking about where the topic starter picks an answer and has that answer moved to the top of the list is not something this mod tries to solve as that's not about group ratings but rather about an individual post selection. I've developed a feature like that for a few sites but have never made it move the post around. It's an interesting discussion as a forum is different than q&a website like Yahoo Answers and moving a post up in order to say the second spot has a lot of implications for discussion flow. That said, I imagine there are sites with areas that could use an easy selection process like that.
