My question disappeared?

I posted a lengthy answer to a question here,

(The girl wanted help naming her art project.)

Now my answer has disappeared!

The question still shows in MY ACTIVITY tab under My Answers, but when I click on it my answer is gone but there is still one answer for the question.

She also added Additional Details

"I came up with a name, haha"

I checked my mail and there is no notice from Yahoo! about deleting my answer.

Any idea how it got deleted?

Any way to find out how or why it got deleted?

If the poster deleted it, is there any record of that action.

If Yahoo! deleted it is there any record of that action?

It gets so depressing answering questions here, how do I get over this, I mean I offered a quality answer that would have been an asset to Yahoo?

    the Asker of a question has no power to delete any answers. the only way an answer is removed is by staff, or by being reported with the abuse button. or by you the answerer. if a staff or report removal you will receive a violation notice, check your spam folder also if no email you can email the abuse team at y_answrs_team@yahoo.com

    and ask include a link to that question and explain the problem. i would include a link to your profile page also. good luck

    If you are using a phone app, that is just the current glitch. If you switch to a desktop mode or a real computer, you should see your answer.
