    There is a prefilter the question has to pass. If you have links or references to certain websites or certain keywords (do not have to be bad), the questions will be held for staff review, usually 30 minutes to a couple of days. If there is a problem, you may get a violation or they may just not post the question. If the question is showing in your profile, this would be the reason.

    If not in your profile, they could have been quickly deleted. Try this. Edit the question and add just a couple of periods in the added details and resubmit. This sometimes clears the question. Or post with no links and add them in the added details.

    It's a huge web site so there are quirks here and there. Funny things happen now and then. Sometimes I get a BA on something I answered months ago.

    On the other hand, you may be looking at "Recommended" question tab instead of "OPEN" tab. You may have your options set for something other than "Newest" at the top of the list of questions. Or you may have a bad cache file (refresh page or clear cache).

    There needs to be a category labelled, "First World Problems".
