why do my questions on yahoo answers never get any answers?

Hey, no one answers any questions that are not worth the time that people spend thinking on it... =D

I totally agree with you. Many a times, serious, genuine questions get no responses at all or get answers like 'sorry, I don't know'. Ask a silly question and within minutes you'll receive hords of silly answers.\nApparently, people are using this site, not for getting answers to questions, but to have some fun.\nMost of my questions do go unanswered. But, I wouldn't say the whole system has deteriorated as I'm still managing to get some decent, appropraite answers to some of my queries. I guess what has happened was inevitable.

I've never had that problem.\n\nOK, ignore the above, I just had that happen, and it was frustrating 'cause I really wanted to answer a particular question. What's up with that?

You can't its some kinda bug or something ..hopefully it should be back to normal tommorow, I hope. \n\nJust keep trying, or u just have to keep clicking back, till the answer is accepted successfully. \n\nEveryone here is having the same problem.

I only checked around a few of the questions you'd answered but they all had your answers posted...sometimes it takes awhile for a posted answer to be counted....is that what you mean?????

When i can't answer anymore questions i go vote i don't know why no other people do it. Are we the only people out there?

because the database for yahoo answers is so vast, it'd take an incredibly long time to search every section to make sure somone else didn't already ask your question.  if yahoo was to have its people monitor every single question, they'd have to start charging people for using yahoo answers, and then no-one would be getting Anything answered.\n\nhope that helped!  :)

I like Yahoo Answers and you made me smile with your comments.\n\nPeople can get trapped in answering a question. They can wander...get off Topic...all of that.\n\nThis question is all about you:)  You want your questions answered fully...and I agree with that.\n\nHowever, many times the answer to the question is all about you or me.\n\nSmiles again. I hope that I was focused in my answer to you.\n\nChow. :)

Maybe because there not interesting questions.  Just ask something silly and people will respond....Good Luck!

The questions on answer.yahoo.com are answered by yahoo visitors not yahoo staff.  If you have an issue with the software, follow the help links.\n\nIt might be slow because your ISP connection is slow, because your computer is slow, or because Yahoo hasn't set enough servers up to handle the load.  If it's the third reason, I am sure Yahoo! would like to know about it.  Click on help in the upper right hand corner to resolve your issues.

They get "violated"  and don't get posted.  Every time I try to ask a silly inconsequential question it never gets posted and I get a violation.  They are really starting to suck.

Why don't you ask a question?

None! \nWhy do you think I hang here and answer questions?

I had a question on there for about 3 days and no one answered it, so I took the question off. Maybe that is one of the reasons. Hope this helps.

Yahoo! makes no guarantee that your question will be answered, or that the answer will be correct.\n\nThe Y! Answers Blog has tips on presenting questions in ways that are more likely to be answered.\n\nThe bottom line is: it is up to the individual Y! users to decide if they want to answer your question.

There are now 3 answers to it.\n\nOne of the other people on here was having that problem and she ask me to go into here profile page and click on the question and answer it.  When I did that, then she could find it.  Yahoo is still trying to work out the bugs now that they have changed their programming(it was done on the 15th).  I went into forum and there were a lot of people complaining about their questions being lost and them not getting credit for the ones they did answer.  Yahoo is still working on it.   \nHope this answers your questions and problem.

How can you tell if they haven't posted an answer? I find thumbs down to my posts irritating, but I guess that's the point of this place to get a mix of opinions and see who agrees with what... I'm certain, however that there are some little kids out there who go around sabotaging posts - not to mention posting insulting questions... \n\nI suppose that's the flip side of an online service - you never know who you're dealing with. But for sure, don't take it personally, it happens to everyone (and in some cases I'm sure you feel like putting a thumbs down to an answer - see any of the bashing Qs) ;)
