    Wow... way to nicely ask for help... name calling. I haven't had that happen in months, but when it does, I hit the back button back to the question, refresh the page, and my answer is there. Had you figured that out... your answers wouldn't have disappeared. (1 s, 2 p's). This is a huge, interactive web site, that we use for free. Stuff happens. When I see that happen, for a while I copy my answer before I hit the "submit" button. So there are a few ways around it.

    But... you could try emptying your cache, and see what happens. Sometimes the problem isn't Y!A's problem.

    If you're going to insult someone else's intelligence, it's a good idea to check your own spelling first. Besides, this category is only read by your fellow YA users. We have nothing to do with the technical glitches.

    Answers disappear because this is a very large and busy site. Glitches do happen. Since you are aware it happens, you should copy your answer before clicking submit. I do on long answers that I don't want to have to retype. Then, when things go wrong, you'll still have a copy of your answer and can simply answer the question again and paste your previous answer in.

    *geniuses, genius.

    Questions get deleted, as do answers, for violation of the Community Guidelines. Chances are, this question will.

    On occasion, refreshing the page can be helpful.

    Sometimes that happens when the question gets deleted before you can push "submit" to answer.
