Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be 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.

Why in God's name are my questions not showing up on the boards?

People can only read them if they go to my profile and then click on My Questions. It's ridiculous. Funnily enough, questions like this go up immediately. I'm getting a little paranoid here. Can they refuse to allow legitimate questions? Why are questions like this allowed but not ones about atheism? Sca-aa-ary.

P.S. If you'd like to prove me wrong, go to my questions on my profile page and check when they were sent. Then go to R&S and check if they've been posted to the board itself.

    Hey darling,

    That happened to nexus and me and few others.

    I monkeyed with it until I figured it out.

    step #1: Go to your profile and find the question, open your question, then lay your paw on the red cross sign, scroll down and click "delete question" .

    Step #2 : This time, type fewer words in the head-line part of your question, and/ or re-word it just a half of a banana. (Do not add any details or additions to the headlines at this point.)

    Step #3: Post just the shortened or reworded head-line part of your question.

    Step #4 : Wait until your question goes public on the boards. Then quickly add details and submit your details.

    The same thing is happening to me, I even posted a question like this, but it didn't show up either. Go to my page and you will see many questions that never appeared on the board. I would love to see The Yahoo Gods actually respond to this.

    I've had this happen to me several times also. What I believe is happening is, Y!A has an filter running that flags controversial question for a human inspection. The question will sit in a queue until reviewed or deleted.

    If you post hate questions, that that is not appropriate. If you make fun of other religions, be warned your question may be deleted.
