    On Mobile switch to desktop link.

    That will happen if you have too many certain characters, the filter will stop it from posting.

    The % sign is one and needs to be spelled out or a question won't post..

    ========= If you go over the character limit on a Question or the details the box will be outlined in Red and have a minus # which is how much over the limit you are. You will need to shorten it by that number for it to submit. You have 140 characters for the Question title where it says What's up?.

    Details character limit is 2500 Desktop. ... 1500 on Mobile.

    That may be the spam filter that causes that. You still see your answer on your answers list but no one else can looking at the question when it is opened.

    It stops answers or questions with what it believes are suspicious links from being seen....It will happen even with Yahoo Help pages links.

    Try moving the question to another category and then back again, that often works.

    It could be because you have a link in them. This is the spam filter kicking in and preventing them from posting so they can be reviewed for any suspicious material. They will post later if they are found the be genuine websites. It could also be that there's a glitch. Try moving your questions to a different category and then switching them back to the original category. They should appear in the list then. Check back on the list every now and again though as they can disappear again. In that case, do the same thing: switch categories and switch it back :)
