Do you have to answer the right answer on Sidetick?

Here is what I did on sidetick daily. I log in to sidetick, and I would check my message, or check the polls for the day. If time allows, I would check other people's blog, or I would write my own blog. Then I would definitely comment on Jenny's blog to make that 1,000 points, which usually $0.50 earning for the day without doing anything else. Sometimes, after I type in the comments, and click post button, it just won't update my earning. I afraid to lose that earning, I usually would go back and re - post it again with different answer. Then it will automatically credit me that 1,000 points for the day.
So, here is my question, regardless about the sidetick algorithm. Should the members post the right answer, otherwise you just won't get any credit from it?

It's not that you're not posting the "right" answer -- actually most all of the questions are asking for your opinion so there's no real wrong answer to give. Rather, it's a bug in their system that leads to some answers not being credited. If you've noticed other commenters posting the same message multiple times, this is why...they just keep posting it until they do get credited. So you actually have to post a different answer, though some people prefer to say something like, "Posted below and didn't get credit so trying again."

Oh, so they have a bug in their comment box code. Shouldn't they need to find out the solution, so it could work better for us, and save us from all these hassles?

Yeah, they should and I'm sure they'll get to it eventually. It took them a while to clean up the blogs section too, but they finally did. By the way, I meant to say "So you actually DON'T have to post a different answer" in my previous message...sorry for the confusion!

Sometimes you have to repost your answer a couple of times. It is a glitch in their system. Maybe they have too many people trying to post at the same time. In any case, some browsers work better than others.

There's no right or wrong answer when it comes to the topics. Like others have said, it's a bit glitchy. I had no problems for my first month. Now it seems like I'm having to copy and redo my answer to the question every time I go to answer one. I usually just copy and paste what I posted the first time, then delete the posts that didn't get credited. I like that they let us delete our own posts on there. I wish more people would delete their own when they have to post more than once to get credit!
