Why does no one ever answer my questins on YA?

Look at the general queue of questions. Notice how fast they get posted? Yours gets quickly bumped to the second, the third, the fourth page in a matter of seconds. If you've asked it at a time when participation is low, or if it doesn't immediately get the attention of people, it quickly passes over to the 2nd or 3rd or higher pages where very few people will go in search of questions to answer.

If you don't get a lot of action from the General Responders, then it becomes a matter of if the Category Responders will take an interest in it. Those are the people who respond by Category. In many categories the questions don't get bumped down the list to the 2nd and 3rd pages so quickly, and have a better chance of getting responded to by people who have an interest in that topic. Yahoo will also circulate your question to people who have responded a lot in this category. So having the question properly categorized is important in attracting these second level types of responders to it.

All of your previous questions, except for the most recent (which was asked just one hour ago), did receive at least one answer. Some received more.

Not all questions get answers. Questions which are:

*too personal

*too general

*too specific

*too technical

*too detailed

*not detailed enough

are less likely to get answers than those which are well-written, concise, CLEAR, and properly-categorized.
