Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Why does everyone have a '?' as their name?

Most of the posts I've gone thru today have a "?" instead of a name.

Is that some sort of new privacy settings thing?

Makes it a little hard to follow someone if you like their answers if I can't click and see their profile. :/

    Not everyone, just a few because of a bug/glitch in Yahoo . Been there for awhile. It comes and goes. It gave my name as a "?" a couple times this morning and reg name other times.

    That is a glitch with the avatars on YA.
