Do you ever look back on questions you've asked or answered?

I go back all the time. I add information to my questions, in response to what other people are saying. I check to see if anyone has added info to the questions I've answered and edit my post in response.. also in response to other answers to those questions, sometimes.

But it just occured to me, as I was doing this today, that a lot of people probably don't ever go back to read my edits because they don't get e-mails when someone edits, only when someone posts.

Just wondering if anyone out there actually does go back and look, like I do at least once a day, and if anyone thinks it's a good idea for Yahoo to start giving us e-mail notification when someone edits.

    I think this is a terrific idea. Please consider posting it to the Yahoo Suggestion Board, where it might be seen by a Y!A employee.

    Link to follow:

    http://suggestions.yahoo.com/?prop=answers

    I had to break the link in half to get the system to accept it, but it is all one link.

    (You can get to this by clicking "Tell Us What You Think" at the bottom of the page.)

    One caveat - you cannot refer specifically to other answers in your answer OR in your question - that is considered chat. I have gone back and edited, but it is typically when I find additional information. The other instance is if I run across the question, read my answer, and realize there is a spelling or grammar mistake that I did not catch the first time. I usually post "EDIT" when I do so, but I am not 100% accurate with that.

    Some of the regulars there (Suggestion Board) have been on here for quite a while, and they might also be able to tell you if those ideas have already been suggested.

    Okay, I am a kind of been there unkempt females that now takes plenty of satisfaction of their look. First and most important ANYBODY goes to suppose greater and no more depressed even though they already are depressed if they'll do the high-quality with what they've and train no less than well hygiene. Then the extra that they WILL and CAN do with their look will upgrade their self worth by means of one hundred ten%. I am dwelling evidence of that and up till three months in the past after 22 years of marriage I might cross 6 months now not placed make-up and lied to the arena and myself that I used to be cozy with it. Now I may not such a lot as opt for a jog with out no less than eyeliner and lipstick. My marriage has gotten a miles wanted spice up. I mostly do, no, I realize that I do have a husband that loves me unconditionally and can stick with me via thick and skinny however that's no well excuse to allow him seem at a hag considering the fact that of it. I like myself a hell of plenty extra and if men and women are going to be haten on you on your query do not fear approximately it considering the fact that there probably a couple of that would become aware of that they resemble your comment and do anything approximately it and be grateful you published it. If there may be any proper position to invite anything of this nature, this discussion board is so much definitely it. More of my two cents....This has simply long past over a few of these peoples heads, this isn't approximately hating or judging for so much it's specific hindrance. I needed I had awoke years in the past.

    Yes, I always go back to select the best answer to my question. Never once has one of my questions gone to the voters. The only time that I seriously thought about withdrawing a question was when for the longest, I had just one little silly-type answer.

    Sometimes, I like to go back and see who got the best answer and why I didn't. Sometimes, all it takes it a little time and a little bit of information

    Quite interesting. I only go back to see my questions and I might edit, but not my answers.

    I look back to see what other people have said or if the asker has added anything.

    If it's a question I'm interested in I'll review it when it's in voting.
