    Some reasons questions don't get answered are:

    *They are posted at low YA user times of day

    *They are posted in low activity categories

    *They are complex and not many would know the answer

    *They don't interest the people who saw them

    *They are posted in the wrong category or not the best category to get good answers

    *Your question is only visible to you due to it being hung in the filter (log out of your account OR try viewing your question in another browser in which you aren't logged in to your YA account. If you can see the question, then it's fine. If you can't, then go into it and move it to another category, then back where it belongs. Check it again with a non-logged in account. Once you can see it, you can feel sure others can see it too).

    The last one that I see Prior to this has a Answer on it the Others looks like its 3 Weeks old Yahoo does not Always Let people Answer Older Questions so you may want to Re Post them

    Its Possible if you Posted it at a Low Traffic Period Not many people will see your Question and when People come on and Ask other Questions yours will go down Further down in the List try posting at a Busy Period like 7-8 pm in the Evening

    Several are "Dear Abby" types and the others are just not going to be of interest to the general YA user. They are really questions that would be better asked to you friends locally.

    Weak questions. Try asking something intelligent.
