If you decide to answer an older question that has well established and correct answers, adding a new answer late in the day may not get you any credit. If you have some distinctive new information, or you're convinced the other answers are all wrong, by all means add a new answer, but 'yet another answer' giving the same basic information a long time after the question was asked usually won't earn you much credit. You've added 'pretty pictures' — I'm not convinced they're all that beneficial. They'd be illegible if I was using a cell phone to read this answer.
