Is it possible to set my questions on private?

Is it possible that I can set the questions I asked on Yahoo Answers on private so others cannot view them on my page? If so, where do I go to set these settings?

    Yes...

    Go to this link: (my activity, edit my preferences, privacy and communications)

    http://answers.yahoo.com/my-activity/edit/settings

    Under sharing and network set the Q&A option to contacts only (or Contacts and Fans only)

    Then only your contacts (the people you add) can see your old Q's. Fans are the people who add you.

    Your questions are still searchable and can be viewed on the main displays on Yahoo! Answers. Also, our questions can be found by Googling if the searcher knows how.

    Yes.... Here:

    >Go to your profile on Y!A (

    >Go to 'Edit My Preferences'

    >Go to 'Privacy and Communications'

    >Look under 'Sharing and network' and it should be there

    -You'll have to select contacts to only be allowed to view it. That's the more secure way to hide them.-
