Answers ghosted?
Anyone know why, under my answers, my responses to "Math question, please help?" and "Need help with these three college math intermediate problems on functions and graphing?" were ghosted? If you click "show more" on my "My Answers" page, you should be able to read it all. As a result, you can see I don't have links there, nor is my IP a foreign IP which has the possibility of being banned.
It sucks to waste points on this. This has happened before, but it sucks that, when I'm logged in the answers are there & they disappear only once I've logged out (even clicking edit & then submit again doesn't make them get posted).
I mean: I answered the questions. My answers appear in my "My Answers" list, but they don't appear on the question page (where everyone's answer to the question is). I never deleted my answers, they just don't exist for others (except myself when I'm logged in).

It's possible that the individual people who submitted answers later deleted them. You can edit and delete answers up until the time the questioner picks a best answer. As for why they did that, I can't say.
Based on your update, there's a couple of reasons why your answers might not be showing up. The questions are submitted by an anonymous person. It's possible that the person has blocked you or has reported your answer. It's also possible that if you submitted the responses anonymously (no judgment), they aren't showing up due to a glitch. Third-party individuals such as myself aren't able to see anonymous responses that you make even when viewing your My Answers tab. It's possible that if you can't see them that the YA server is having trouble parsing your account.
