    Several things can happen:

    1. If you take too long, you can lose the connection (type outside Yahoo and cut/paste to get around this)

    2. You have exceeded your daily limit (does the word false appear?)

    3. You exceeded the character limit (is the box red with a negative number?)

    4. You have a bad cache file on your system, clean and reboot.

    5. Just copy your question, refresh the page and paste it in again.

    6. Certain links will cause problems, post without them and add as updates.

    7. Symbols such as % will cause problems on mobiles. Spell it out.

    8. On mobiles, try Desktop mode.

    Sometimes when that happens, the question did submit, the problem is the next screen does not come up properly.

    Either you've reached your daily limit, you are blocked by the person asking (if it is one specific one), or you have a cache issue. Try just refreshing the page first a few times. If that doesn't fix it, sign out, clear all cache files, cookies and temp files, and restart the device. Be sure Java, flash and browser are updated, or try a different browser.
