Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Why doesn't Y.A. let you edit your posts or post twice in the same thread?

It should be allowed.

    Questions can't be changed. They can be added to. See the EDIT menu.

    Answers can be changed up to the time the vote starts or a best answer is picked.

    People give answers based on what the question says. If you were allowed to completely change the question it would make the answers wrong. Additional information should never change the question, only add to it.
