Today we've changed the period that a question remains open for answers from 7 days to 3 days. Once the first person has submitted their answer to a question, anyone else wanting to answer that question will now have 3 days to answer. Because of this change answers will be revealed to everyone sooner, which includes raising the anonymous voting curtain earlier. Unfortunately, this does mean that there will be less time available to answer a given question but we did some number crunching and found that the vast majority of answers were completed within 3 days. You will also receive compliments to your answers sooner, waiting only up to 3 days instead of 7 to get answer compliments. The rules that govern voting, gaining experience points and quest gold have not changed; the only change is to the answering period now lasting 3 days.
