Why doesn't yahoo answers, like the percent sign lol?

Programming that was never changed. It works fine in the answers ( %) but not in questions. Since it's fairly easy to write it out as a word, it was never determined to be a big enough issue to need to fix.

Nobody knows why it wont take it it just wont take it you have to Spell it out

It is not that Yahoo dislikes the % symbol it is just that they made an error when coding the % symbol on both the Ask a Question and Details. But they did not make the same error when coding the Answer. Yahoo was too lazy and trying to cut cost and never corrected the error.

It's a years old coding error in one or more computer programs that were coded years ago by people who were laid off In 2012 or earlier. If you think editing your own computer programs is frustrating and infuriating, imagine bow frustrating it is for someone else who works for Verizon. If you have never taken a programming class, you have no idea Kicking the hardware doesnt work..Turning it off and back on again works sometimes.

The thumb downs PROVE MY POINT. You KNOW I am right. The sarcastic thumb ups CONFIRMS I am right. Checkmate!!!
