Answer 1

Favourite answer

YES!!!  And sometimes it tells me that somebody has answered my question, and I look and their answer isn't there.   I'm a programmer - I'm trying to figure out what kind of logic is making that happen

Source(s): Yes - I think it has been your answer a couple of times

Answer 2

Yep it does happen a few times not as much as other users has also happened when I ask a q. Just happened today wirh an answer and said 0 points like WTF 😫😡 waste of my time typing.

Source(s): It also messes what I typed sometimes as some of the words get cut off.

Answer 3

This case is really old and has been there for ages and till now ya doesn't want to fix this shite

But for now the ways to prevent these:

Avoid posting suspicious links 

Make your answers not too short

Avoid repeating the same character alot

Avoid adding empty spacebar keys alot

Use relevant words that really exists in the english dictionary 😂

If you noticed that it till disappears try editing it again and again till it appears

Answer 4

thats the autobot censors trying to figure out what you typed

Answer 5

I've had this happen mainly when posting links or copy/pasting an answer. (eg: a recipe someone wanted, don't want to type all that out)

Answer 6

Sometimes, it might be a glitch or something.

Answer 7

Yes, you have to be careful to not say anything favorable to trump or critical of democrats or your answer will appear only to you & no one else.

Your answer will not show up on any other users page, Its called shadow ghosting & Yahoo has been doing it for about a full year now,

They began shadow ghosting in the news comments shortly before they eliminated comments altogether.

Answer 8

That never happened to me. Maybe refresh the page?

Answer 9

Yes, just refresh the screen.  You may need to resort the answers to "Newest" which should be the default view.  I have no idea how "relevance" is determined.

Answer 10

Not for me, but I know many users with this problem. You'll have to Edit your answer for it to appear.
