Why don't my questions appear on the question page?

I click on answers and go through alot of the questions people are asking, is it only unsolved questions on there?

    No, on the main home page the Questions are just

    posted by Yahoo at random, to give people a 'sampling'

    of what questions are on here, and open.. and the

    different categories, etc.

    Yes, it is usually unResolved questions on the main page,

    as they are in need of an answer. (See the 3 tabs categories below).

    If you're asking a question, however, it goes into a

    category - either the one you choose or the one Yahoo

    picks for you by default if you forget to pick one.

    Then it will appear on the Category's main page.

    On the main page, It's separated into three diff. tabs -

    categories -

    Open Questions - to answer..

    Resolved questions.. that have had closure, someone (or the asker themselves) picked a "Best Answer"..

    Undecided Questions: Where the questions are in limbo in

    a tie-breaking situation - you can go in there, I encourage you to, actually, and get a pt. per vote on a good answer,

    and helping break a tie.

    Vote your daily limit...

    I hope this helps...:)

    Actually, if you click on the 'answer' button in the top center of the page, all questions show up there, eventually. The problem is that the posting is delayed on that page about 6-7 minutes, so most folks don't see their question post. You have to sit there, clicking F5 (refresh) every so often for 6-7 minutes before you will see yours. And if things are posting fast & furious and you don't click F5 often enough, yours can end up pushed to page 2 before you even notice it.

    The postings to the separate categories are only delayed for about 2-4 minutes, so things post sooner there. This is also why many questions on the 'answer' page already have answers when you go to look at them.

    Not sure I understand what you're asking - if this isn't it, 'Add Details' to your question, please.

    If you're looking for 'open' questions, click the 'answers' button. If you're looking for answered or 'resolved' questions, click the 'discover' button. Look at the list on the left side of the page and make sure you're in the right category.
