Am I the only one having this glitch on Yahoo Answers?

I am trying to pick a best answer, but I can't because I'm only seeing the answer in the person's profile page but not in the main page.

Is anyone else having this problem?

    There are a few reasons this might happen:

    1. The answer was deleted by the user who posted it.

    2. It was reported as a violation by enough users to get it removed from the display.

    3. The spam filter has it (some mistakenly call it shadow banning, but it is not any form of banning) and only shows up for the user who posted it. An edit or few to the answer may get it to show up for others, but if the OP doesn't realize no one else can see it, they don't know they need to edit it (or ask about the issue to get the information about editing it). This happens to me often if I edit an answer (it will disappear from view for everyone but me, and many edits may or may not make it visible again).

    Long-term glitch usually caused when the answer was posted from a cell phone. Only that person can fix it by editing the answer.
