Anyone know the technical workings of "Answers"?

I know where you are coming from. I had the same issue in the religion section.\n\nFreedom of speech issues aside i think it comes down to how precious and sensitive the people who see your question are.\n\nI usually found my questions were quickly reported because the questioned the church and seeing that good xtrians couldnt support an argument against me I would get reported instead. No doubt done with lots of xtrian love and piety. Self righteous Barstards\n\nOh and the Yahoo thought police dont like anyone saying things against George Bush either.

I don't understand the questi...

what happens is the answers were probably set as the number one answer by the original person that asked the question.  Also the person could be voting on a lot of number one questions.

That has happened to me a couple of times, and it seems like they are the questions that require the *most* effort and thought.\n\nI did that to a question, submitted the answer, and even though everything shows I answered the question, it never showed up, did not get deleted, just floated off into cyberspace somewhere (?).  The question wasn't deleted, and it shows up on my answered question list, and it tells me I have already answered that question.  How weird is that?

Well, for it to work properly, you have to ask questions, and they need to be answered. People don't usually ask questions in regular message boards. \nThis is a better place to "just answer the question"

Good question man.  I decided to sign up on Answers with a legit profile as you suggest.  My intention is to always mean what I say and stand behind it.  The quality of Q and A would certainly be better if everyone came out of the dark.

Maybe, but its a beta.  It'll get worked out eventually.  But either way, its a nice alternative to the fee-based Google Answers.

The control panel provided by your web host should give you the answer.

What do you mean by "the answer"??

I agree - there seems to be a delay in the posting, but I'm sure you're right- I always think I'm the "first" to answer someone's "difficult" question and then all of a sudden there are 10 answers. I just answered one and it still isn't showing up as answered.

I'm guessing that as users move their questions from opened to resolved or undecided that the page numbers shift dynamically rather than staying static.\n\nThis particular functionality is annoying to me.

Personally, I don't think so.  Yahoo hasn't really done anything like that, nor will they release their source. \nthe best bet would be to search places like http://www.hotscripts.com for scripts that can act like this, and then modify it into something better.  (like forceing people to except answers..)    \n\nhoenstly, it's something I'm working on myself.

Are these words phrased in the form of an answer.

Huh? If this is pertaining to Y! Answers, then when you ask a question, it will be posted here. If an expert happens to see the Q you posted & is able to answer it, he/she will do so here.\n\nEach answers posted to your Q will be duplicated and sent to your inbox, assuming you have checked the box 'Yes, email me the answers as they are posted' when you asked.\n\nQuestions will not be redirected to any particular expert let alone to Every expert's inbox, unless someone is particularly interested & have included a RSS feed.\n\nDoes this answer your Q?\n\n:o)

Every once in awhile you'll see a post in the Questions forum that is obviously in response to Answers recieved. But most often, the resolution (if there was one) can be found in the Resolved forum. A lot of enquirers post an "aside" when they close their question.
