    It depends how busy yahoo answers is...the new questions come in and push the older ones farther down the list.

    As to having to wait 4 hours to choose the best answer,I thought it was 24hrs.Hmm guess they changed that. :)

    It comes off the top of the list and all the idiots lose their attention span. I used to think this site was great, and now I'm starting to realize it's just a bunch of 15 year olds writing sarcastic and moronic comments.

    Questions on the first page always draw a lot of answers while they remain on the first page. However, as new questions are added your question stops getting answers. because it drops further and further down the list.

    You have toooooo much time on your hands! You're sitting here for the ten minutes.....waiting and waiting. Forget about your questions once it's answered.

    I would assume because that's about how long it takes for enough newer questions to come along and push your question off the front page of questions for that catagory.

    Hi..TrickMeNicely,

    The reason is: I need "16 hours", to find your question;)

    And, when I sometimes.. (like now) ..do.....

    Well............... you tell, me: Question is no longer open.. etcetera..

    So, I always, "to" late... or you are "to" early;)) .. LoL

    >>>>

    No, it had to do, with the fact, when your not on the first page, anymore..

    Most of the people, are looking for other answers/questions ..

    That's all there is, to it!;)

    My regards!;)
