Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

I hope that someone can tell me?

what happens after you submit your answer and then you realize you forgot to add a link or spelled a word wrong, or whatever and then you click on edit and change or add something. Does the answer automatically go to the asker when you hit submit? If so, do they get two answers from you after you edit it? Or is there a delay of some kind?

thnx for your help in this. I was just wondering.

    No when your other once cancels it stops its journey through i guess you can call it a delay.That waz a very good question now ya finally know if you need anything else just remember to ask i don't mind at all!!!!!!!!!!

    sometimes there is about a 2 minutes delay depending on how many people are on here but yes once you hit submit you are subjected to all sorts of answers and criticism there is an edit button that you can delete the question after you ask it....good luck

    it doesn't go straight 2 the asker.

    the asker just checks d answer like we do of others.

    no only the edited one is displayed and not 2.

    when you click on edit it brings up your original answer, and when you make the changes and click on submit it overwrites your original one,

    so your latest one will be the one that is showing,
