Why when your question is closed on yahoo answers, Yahoo don't give u a chance to say thanks to all of you??

Such a great idea! Yahoo should include a thank you button for the asker when the question is closed. Each asker should have a setting for if they want to receive "thank you" e-mails.\n\nBut truth be told, you CAN say thank you. When the best answer is chosen, you can leave a comment below the "asker's rating". I don't know if this works if the question was put to a vote, and I've never done it myself so don't ask my how, but someone did it to me!

Yes. It is annoying. I know there must be a delay, but when you try to post an answer to a question posted 2 days ago, showing 0 answers, and find it is closed and there are answers from over a day ago, the explanation cannot be simply a delay.

When you post a question, there should be a checkbox that says something about "Email me when new answers are posted."  Uncheck that box, and the emails should stop.  As for the questions you currently have open, if they've been up for at least one day, go pick a best answer or put up for voting.  Then those will stop receiving answers too.

The persons before have a point especially the first one.\nIt could have been a bug messing around in Yahoo! supercomputer.\nOnce I experienced a similar problem, the "Answer This Question" tab was there but when I clicked on it, Yahoo! said "Oops! You may not take the action."\n\nWait for it to restore.\nIt could take weeks.

Yes I had a question deleted which I could not figure out why. I guess because a man gave a nasty answer and I edited and named him and questioned his motives. (that's all I said ..wonder_why I'm wondering about your motives too) then the next thing I know my question was wiped out by yahoo and yahoo sent me an email saying if I think their decision an error then click on a link to contact them. I just let it go but yet I'm puzzled because there are a lot of a$$holes here who write pedophilia and child rapists who showboat and yahoo leaves them although they are reported so I don't know what's going on with yahoo.

It probably isn't Yahoo that has a problem with your question but someone on Yahoo that objects and reports your question. I have had a question reported and removed and any time I inquired as to the nature of my "violation" all I received was a form letter email responce. Makes you wonder if anyone at Yahoo!Answers even reads the questions marked as violations or if they just automatically get yanked off the site.

If the question if too vague, or it sounds stupid to everyone who reads it, they will not be likely to want to answer it.  \n\nI have been the ONLY person to answer about 4 different questions over the past week.  I keep going back to the questions to see if anyone else has answered them, and no one else has.  \n\nSometimes I think there are too many people asking questions at the same time and your question will get pushed down the list of questions too quickly for anyone to get to see it.  And ... like I said, if it is to simple, vague, or sounds to stupid, it might not get answered.

I don't think you posted a question-----I checked but good try!  But it is always nice to say sorry!

I can't speak for anyone but myself.\n\nI find a lot of satisfaction in answering LEGITIMATE questions posed by people who are honestly looking for information.  Many times I find folks who'll post an answer with vulgarity or their version of humor when it totally uncalled for.  I will not post an answer if I'm not pretty sure I'm passing good, solid answers or common sense opinions.\n\nMost people, well...just about everyone who has picked my answer as "the best" have been quite gracious with thanks.  I get a lot of satisfaction in thinking that I've helped someone out, no matter how small the deed may have been.

Hey, I got ten points knocked off because I answered best answer and the answer and question were deleted and I wasn't even the one who got best answer, I just answered the question. Yahoo answer sometimes gets their wires crossed. What the heck is wrong with them???? They won't take off the really filth but they will screw up like I just stated. Bummer. I am disappointed big time.

I haven't encountered that yet and I don't see why anyone would do that.  I love giving good answers and feeling like I might have actually helped someone, or made someone laugh, at least.  That's why I really try to think it through when I choose a best answer and give it to the most deserving person.\n\nInteresting topic to bring up though.  Have a great day! :-)

You are my type of YA user! I had the same problem as you at first until I realized that it was worse for the question to go to a vote because there was a real chance that none of the good answers would win then.\n\nYou see, one type of Abuser on here goes around "voting" by clicking the "no best answer" button regardless of what the actual answers say. There is a whole huge cadre of these people and they have caused a large number of very good answers to be lost or to lose out by this disregard for what is right. They think they are so cute and much smarter and cooler than those of us trying to make something good out of this site.\n\nSo, by choosing a best answer yourself you are at least rewarding one worthy person not possibly condemning all of them. \n\nWhat I usually do is choose the first one that hit most of the points I was looking for. I do this because sometimes some answerers will actually just repeat what someone above them said.\n\nThen I always thank everyone and try to mention my regret at not being able to pick them all. Maybe that's like being told you are first runner up, but I do it anyway.\n\nSo, kudos to you for being a caring person, and a good Asker, see you around here! DHW

You shouldn't erase your questions, that way they will be up if others have the same question, they can get the answer quickly.  Why be greedy, and keep the answer to yourself? :)

Sometimes it backlogs the system and take more time to post to the page, if it posts at all. I've asked questions that also didn't get posted.  But people answered them by going to my profile and accessing them that way.

While it is true that some questions may be asked to benifit someone other than the asker, the majority are asked by the one who wants the answer. So, try not to hold it againt someone for assuming that you are the subject in your question. as long as you are getting answers that could be helpful you should be happy. besides, i'm willing to bet that not many of us on here know you personally, so it does'nt really matter what we think of you or assune of you based upon questions you ask. None of us can judge you, all we know is your aviater and question.

I am not sure why they would not allow that question.  Sometimes I just think it all has to do with the whim of the employee reviewing the questions as they come onto the site.\n\nWhy are people rude?  Because they don't have to give their real identities and say things they probably would never say to total strangers.  I think some people too are just having a bad day; others are chronically negative individuals -- I've run into a few every once and a while and their answers are almost always negative -- or they read something into a question that is just not there (except in their minds) and verbally attack the questioner.\n\nI've found that most of the guys and gals on here though are very sincere and helpful people -- and I guess that is why the site was established in the first place -- and why it is so popular.  Take care.
