How come I can't send more links?
When answering a question on here, I see that others do but after I go over 10 it tells me to take some away. What am I doing wrong?

it seems to vary, sometimes they seem to allow unlimited links other times they don't. I've found by pasting the links into the body of the message sometimes works better than in the sources section or at least split them up.

I don't know why, but some guesses are that Yahoo may want to prevent spamming attempts b/c so many good links could hide a personal or illicit link B4 they or community could check them all.
Second guess is that it's hard enough to get most people to follow a link b/c of spam or virus "fear factor." I'd think that more than 10 links is just a bit much. You're a "top contributor," so why not keep things concise & indicate you have "X" amount of more links if Asker cares to e-mail you for them.
