How do you ask a question on Answers.com?

Answer 1

It’s easy! You can use the search bar to ask your question. If somebody else has asked the same question or one that is similar, you’ll find it this way as well. If nobody has asked the exact question as you searched it, you’ll be taken to a new page where you can create the question yourself, as well as add context and topics!

Happy Asking and Answering!

How to Ask a Question on Answers.com | WikiAnswers

1. Make sure you are logged in.
2. Type your question in the white bar found at the top of the screen and click on "Go." (Make sure your question starts with a question word like What, when, why, how, etc. or the site will think you are just trying to do a search.)
3. You may be shown some similar questions and asked if any of them are the same question, but in different words. If one of them matches, click the question.
4. Fix any misspellings you may have.
5. Click Submit Question.
6. If your question is already answered, you will be taken to an existing question.
7. If your question is new, you will be asked to select a category. Try to find the most specific Category for your question. For example, if it is a car question, instead of putting it in Cars and Vehicles, put in the sub-category for a specific kind of car. After categorizing, make sure to save the categories.
8. Now, sit back and wait for your question to be answered.

More comments from Answers.com contributors:

• If you have added the question to your watchlist, you should get a notice when it is answered via e-mail. Otherwise, copy the url or make a bookmark so you can come back and check.
• Only apostrophes and periods work as punctuation. Commas do not.
• Keep in mind that some questions are harder to answer than others but with the users from all over the world, you will get an answer - hopefully sooner than later.

• You would simply type into the box at the top what you want to ask. Perhaps it has already been asked and it will take you there. Or there might be something similar enough.

• You can ask any question you like and other people will answer it.

You just did. Write a question and post it.

Answer 3

Go to the top where it says "Enter question or phrase...". Go below that and click. You should now be able to type whatever question you want. After typing your question, click on "Go" or hit Enter. Your question should now go through.

Answer 4

It's the same way you asked this question. You type in the box, up above. Then, it presents you with questions like yours. If none match, click submit. If one matches, choose it-- that really helps to keep things tidy so people can focus on answering rather than organizing questions.

Answer 5

Type your question in the box at the very top of the website. Right where it says "Ask us anything". You will then see some answers come up. If the answer to your question is not there then post your question to the community right below those answers.

Answer 6

At the top of every page is a box that says Ask us Anything. When you put your cursor in the box, remove those 3 words, type your question beginning with Who What When Where Why and click GO when done. Next, the site will offer suggested questions others asked. If yours matches one, click it. If not, click submit to make your question go live. Next, pick categories for your question. Your question will appear on the front page of the site, until other people's questions push your question to the next page. When answered, you should get an email. Be patient, though... lots of questions here!

Answer 7

You just did!

To post a question, type your question in the white bar labeled "Ask us anything" at the top of the page. After you click "Go," we will provide a list of questions that have already been asked and answered. If your question hasn't already been asked, click "Submit."

Answer 8

1) At the top of the page, you will see in our header that there is a long text box with the words "Ask us anything" in it. Simply type your question in that box and press the "Go" button.

Tips for asking questions

• Make sure the text you enter is in a question format.
  
  • "What colour are bees" is a good question example
  • "Colour of bees" is a bad question example
• Make sure your question is legal and not offensive.
  
  • Asking us how to bully someone, for example, will not be tolerated
• Make sure the question contains enough information to be answered accurately.
  
  • "When did the American Civil War end?" is a goodquestion
  • "When did the civil war end?" is a bad question (there have been lots of civil wars)

2) When you have pressed the "Go" button, you will either be sent to an already-answered question if it already exists on the website.
If it does not exist, you will see a list of similar questions. if you do not see a question in the list that is relevant to the one you asked, simply click "Submit" to send the question to us.

_____________________________________

3) You will now be asked to categorise your question. Categorising the question in the correct or closest category will ensure that the question gets answered quicker, as our experts tend to stick to their expert categories rather than wandering around the site checking out other categories.

_____________________________________

4) Sometimes, not always, after selecting the category you will be offered to forward the question to a brand. For example, if you asked a question about Ford cars, you might be offered the option to forward your question to Ford Motor Company or an expert in Ford who have a representative on Answers.
You can skip this step by clicking elsewhere on the page to bypass the brand selection box.
