Why do my questions never get posted?

It would help to know what happens when you try. Examples would also help. It would help to know what happens when you try. 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.

9. If it submits, but is not in the category, try this. Move to another category, count ten, then move it back again.

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

As to no answers, There are several general reasons questions are not answered.

1. Dear Abby type questions

2. Obvious violations

3. Anonymous askers

4. Easily googled

5. Asking about very archaic things that people have little interest in

6. Not enough detail - give all the information needed (especially when asking about violations)

7. Questions that would require us to have your phone or computer in our hands to answer

8. Wrong category - always double check and move if needed

9. Medical questions - the answer is ALWAYS "see a doctor"

10. Too time consuming

11. Too much extraneous material to read - we don't need your life story

12. Homework - one question may get answered, but not ten and showing your attempts helps

13. There is just no answer the way you asked the question - try rewording

14. Poorly written questions (all CAPS and bad grammar for example)

15. Using text and twitter speak instead of English

16. Really technical questions

Every time I ask a question I never get any answers. Why?

you don't get any answers cause level 7s don't answer questions they report them

malfunctions

this one did lol
