Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Is an asker notified when someone comments on their resolved question?

Update:

I meant specifically the comments and not when the question is answered.

    I love it when I'm right.

    Yes, you get notification when your RSS feed is updated (each time someone comments on one of your resolved questions). See [1] for an image of how this works. See [2] for information on how you can use your RSS feed. You could also get tricky and have your feed sent to you via email. Yes, using a service like [3], for example, an email will be sent to you whenever an entry in your feed gets published. Thus, an email alert for when you get a comment, answer, and so on (again, whatever is in your feed). Never miss a beat again!

    Groucho is nice - and he's a Marxist too! I have extra many comments to resolved questions (those I responded and those i did not) yet neither the Asker, nor the fellow chosen for acceptable answer ever replied. Oh nicely... I have the completed a similar with the celebrities to no avail. I see you want to stay with up, I do too, yet little comes out of it.

    no, its just a waste of time to post any comments. your thoughts are like grains of sand, to be forgotten like so many other victims of suicide bombers.

    Edit;Yes specifically, I have never got an Email from Yahoo announcing a comment. They do tell me when someone answers.

    You will not get notified of my edit either.

    You need to edit your profile and put your email address on your profile. It will contact you each time anyone makes a comment on your question.

    Yes. You will receive a notification email from Yahoo! when your question is answered.

    i haven't received anything only a notice saying that my time is about up or that is up. i don't know where to go to find the answers. i guess go through all these questions to find your own.
