So I have answered my limit for the past 4 days and that should total 120, yet according to my stats it's 116?

The computer has just told me I've answered my limit, so where have the other 4 answers gone then? You know I've been hunkered over the keyboard, tongue firmly stuck between teeth for hours, concentrating on regaining my level 4 status and now I find something or someone is cheating and nicking my answers! Well really..

I get my totals from 20 questions on day 1

20 questions on day 2

40 questions on day 3

40 questions on day 4

Now I know my mind ain't what it was but who has pinched my answers?!? It was bad enough losing my original account but for my answers to go walkies it's getting ridicklus!

Update:

Certainly not, I haven't had any violations, but, you hav me thinking now, I wonder if the questions asked were pulled because of that reason? I didn't think of that before. And, if I want to waste 5 points asking a question I flippin well will. They are my points to waste. I will get 3 back tomorrow anyway when I choose a bestest answer. It doesn't help you get best answer when you alienate the questioner! Does that make sense?

    I noticed that and it used to happen to me too!

    For example, if you are still on level one and your limit is 20 answers a day, they only let you do 19!

    I know they are only short of one answer but in four days, it becomes four answers, and so on! It happens on all the levels, not just level one!

    They should try to fix that, but i bet the lazy people at yahoo haven't even worked it out yet!

    That has happened to me before. I guess you'll just have to wait till tomorrow to answer more questions. In the mean time, you should vote so you can collect more points, so that you can answer more questions sooner.

    Have you asked a question. You get 1 point for logging on to answers every day so it's worse than you think. 4 points worse.
