    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.

    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?.

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

    That may be the spam filter that causes that. It will happen with images and some links, even with Yahoo Help pages links. Some are held for review and post later but some won't at all.

    If you're using % symbol removed it write percent in word.
