Why can't I select a question as "Interesting?" :(

I just tried to select this question as interesting and add a M10cent tip...

http://www.mahalo.com/answers/environment/who-is-better-for-the-environment-the-guy-eating-salad-in-a-hummer-or-the-guy-eating-a-cheeseburger-in-a-prius

But it wouldn't let me!

Is it because I'd just answered it? Or because mine's the only answer so far? I wouldn't have thought that would make any difference as other people are sure to answer it as well.
Tip for best answer: M$0.25
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

I have this same problem, though my issue is due to some kind of restriction on my work PC. When I click "interesting" on any question it freezes up my web browser at work... I've come to sending myself an email each day with the questions I have found interesting throughout the day, that way I can add the interesting vote/tip when I get home.

Unfortunately this is my home computer and the only one I use.

It could be a problem with Internet Explorer if you use that. I use Opera and haven't had a problem.

Also, someone else is having the same problem: http://www.mahalo.com/answers/mahalo-answers-community/why-doesnt-team-tipping-work-on-my-computer

Thanks, I've seen that question :)

I use Firefox so it's not my browser that's the problem.

Perhaps you should email contact@mahalo.com and describe the issue you are having so they can look into it. It looks like a Mahalo problem is only certain people are having it and they are using different web browsers.

As far as I know there are no restrictions to voting a question as 'interesting' apart from having to offer a tip. I have the same problem too; when I click 'Yes', nothing happens.

I think that this due to Mahalo's limited support for certain browsers. I'm currently using IE8, and when I'm answering a question, the 'Enable WYSIWYG' button doesn't work either.

The workaround I use is switching to Firefox whenever I need to vote a question as 'interesting' or use WYSIWYG mode to answer a question.

I only use Firefox and I never have any problems like this on other sites - there are a lot of "glitches" that Mahalo needs to sort out!

This is because you have a limit as to how many ratings you can give every 24 hours. I have experienced this inconvenience too, so don't worry, welcome to the club!

This was the first time I've EVER tried to add a tip to a question so it's nothing to do with limits.

I think it must be to do with something on your account. I agree it is a interesting question and so I've just added a 10 cents tip to see if it works... and it did.

I'd answer the question now, but its going to take a fair bit of brain power/research to give it a decent answer.

I don't know... I tipped the question because
a) it genuininly was interesting
and
b) you wondered if anyone was able to tip it right at the start....

"I think it must be to do with something on your account."

Any ideas as to what?
