Cannot answer questions because the answer box does not show. What to do about this; Are we the only one's that have this problem?

That is a forum glitch.

Okay, so I'm going to have to explain 1 current glitch before I can get to your question properly. Number 1: there's a glitch here where current questions posted under the "Answer" tab are disappearing after about 3-4 hours leaving week-old questions on the list. Also, the "Discover" (trending) tab has not had any new questions either. They're also a week or more old. Or if you just scroll down long enough in any category on this website, then you'll eventually get to the week-old questions.

Number 2: That leads me to my next point, where I can now answer your question properly. There's something going on here where questions that have been posted for a week or more are unable to be answered. The answer box does not appear under the last answer on the page. So it's likely that you're seeing these week-old questions and are attempting to answer them but they're locked off. Another reason why you may not be able to answer a question is that the user has you blocked. Again, you won't see an answer box. Hope this helped.
