    I am not sure what could prevent you from being the first to answer a question, but sometimes the questions are published and in error they don’t include a place for any answers. When this is spotted by an administrator, they can fix it and someone else may be able to answer the question before you.

    All questions have to be reviewed by an administrator before being published. Some answers also have to be approved before they show up, so not all answers are posted right away.

    Well, John – my son has been trying to thank you for responding to his post but can’t get in. Has sent 3 emails but nothing yet! Will see if this one shows up.

    One of the things you can do when you see the missing answer block is to post a question listing the question and saying there is no answer block. Since questions get reviewed, that will prompt the admins to take care of it.

    I’ve done that twice.

    I would also suggest if you seek help with the website, send an email to the administrator. It can be accomplished by using the contact tab. From the information posted in this thread, I have no way of knowing who Nibake is or who Loral is. If you mean by “Has sent 3 emails but nothing yet!” that he or you have already sent emails to the administrator using the Contact Us tab, feel free to send me an email at john.collins52@yahoo.com and I will try to forward it to the administrator. There just isn’t sufficient information in the posts above to take any action.
