Shadow Boxes and question marks?

Why is it that when my avatar dose not show and I have a shadow box there is a question mark under it? Some other shadow boxes have a question mark also . How would others know who is who? Poppy

    They just click on the ? and all will be revealed, that is what I done to find out it was you.

    Others are experiencing this, too, so there might be a bit of a glitch with the system. Clicking on the avatar should still bring up the user's ID on the profile page, though.

    Mine does that sometimes too and for the past several days there have been numbers and symbols instead of letters in some of the questions.

    You always put your name at the end of your questions or answers so you shouldn't have a problem. I'm wondering why questions are showing up with numbers and symbols in them.

    Seems like the Yahoo! Answer trolls have more questions than answers. As to why your avatar doesn't appear...you must have your privacy while you are changing outfits.

    People know you by the questions you ask and answer. It is the inner person that counts, not the Avatar.

    Now that it has been doing this for a few days, I sort of like it, I don't know who the answer is from and I can give a thumbs up without knowing who it is,

    I don't know the answer to your ? Poppy - but this has happened to me, and that is why I put my initials after an answer - then people know who responded!
