    There is a glitch with the Submit button. Refresh the page and try again. You also will not be able to if you have reached your daily limit or if you try to put a percentage sign in your posts.

    The system goes on a blink every now and then. Just wait then try later.

    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.

    When that happens, I usually change categories, then change it back to where it belongs, and it'll show up
