    Usually if it fails to post,,,it is out of the Yahoo loop hon,,,means it is not right for them as they see it

    usually when the Yamster comes up,,under a question you are posting ,,,it means it need "tweaking"

    I have often found this,,,and it STOPS vios,,if it does NOT post,,

    Gawd know I have had enough practice with these things,,,

  • Tell me about it, i got a VN for one like that on friday within about 5 minutes of me doing it. It's annoying as a lot of the time there's nothing wrong with the original question that should stop it getting posted :)

    i found that if you go back in on the question and add extra detail most of the time it posts! When i posted links to some of mine that didnt appear i got VN notices, i was even accused of "solicitation" on a couple of occasions for adding a link ;)

    *Raises eyebrow* have I ever! lol

    They don't violate the original question that didn't post but they violate every question with a link to it, don't know why only the almighty yahoo knows the answer to that lol :)

    *Looks up* dirty stop out! hehe ;)

    more than once and like Plancton, i once received a violation when no one answered it. I appealed stating how could anyone answer if it didn't post. of course my appeal was denied.

    On occasion that's happened.

    Either way yahoo hates all kind of links regardless.They think they contain viruses.

    Yep. I believe that Yahoo do it to get rid of people they don't like a bit quicker, but then I am slightly mad.
