There is a glitch that causes some answers not to show, especially from mobiles. If concerned, always edit your answer after posting. Refresh the page first. Using desktop mode is always less glitchy.

It's been flagged so that only you can see it and only while online. Probably several people didn't like what you said and whined about it.

If its not showing upon Signing out thats Due to it got Flagged if you have Pictures or Links or Curse Words in there sometimes the System will Flag it and cause it not to Fully Post

The spam filter sometimes catches posts (mobile and desktop devices alike). It's an ongoing bug in the system, for years now. For questions, moving the question to another category, waiting a few seconds, and moving it back where it belongs, usually causes it to become visible. If that doesn't work, try adding an update.
It happens to answers sometimes too. If that happens to you, do some editing to your answer, it will probably show up (sometimes it won't). Sometimes an answer will post and be visible but you edit it, and that causes it to disappear (further editing usually fixes it). This has been going on for quite a while now, and is very annoying. Users often don't realize their posts aren't being seen by others. It happens to me a lot, if I edit a post or try include certain links.
Frustrating.
