    That's a glitch that has happened before. It will be corrected but it could be a few days or weeks. Oath has been made aware of it, so we just have to wait until they figure out what's caused it and how to correct it.

    This is a glitch that has happened before in the past. Questions disappear from the system each day. I saw it go on for weeks a few times in the past. Sooner or later it will be fixed. But while that is happening you can move your question out of the category and back in again and it will show for a few hours.

    I don’t know, but there’s definitely Something wrong! It’s been super slow @ times & often just stop. I’ve opened other tabs & they have no problems. There’s been a bunch of other glitches, too.

    I just checked.... I asked a question, an hour ago, about the popups I’ve been getting (they only seem to popup on the tab I have yahoo answers on). My question isn’t showing up... it’s in my ‘questions asked’ on my account page, but nowhere else.

    Is it possibly your internet connection?

    I hope they get it fixed soon. There are not anywhere enough new questions to keep me busy.

    It's another glitch - supposedly has something to do with the spam filters - see question from Y!A staff here:

    Where did my answer go?

    Glitches. I have seen this before but this particular glitch usually corrects itself.

    Happens to me all the time but clicking on edit question and changing the category works

    If it is disappearing after you post it then your question is being removed by the spam filter
