Is there a way to block people from seeing my question history on Yahoo Answers? - Jo - 11-10-2012 01:17 AM
Someone I know irl found me on yahoo answers, and I'd rather they didn't snoop and see what questions I've asked in the past. Is there any way to hide this?

You can hide your Q&A from being visible on your profile from everybody BUT your Contacts. You can't hide your questions from being visible when people are searching elsewhere however.
First and most important step to keep your Q&A private...(from the desktop version) go to My Activities>Edit My Preferences>Privacy & Communications. Under "Sharing and network:" you will see "Share my Q&A with:". Select "My Contacts Only" and click Submit at the bottom of the page.
If you have any Contacts they will be able to see your Q&A, so if you are concerned about privacy I suggest you don't allow them. After you set to My Contacts Only simply don't add users as Contacts (become their fan).
Then for more privacy you need to check your Pulse settings.
From Answers go to My Activity>View Pulse>Settings>Manage updates. Make sure "Share my updates" is not checked. Save at the bottom of the page. This keeps your Q&A from being visible on Pulse and other sites.
You can also manage whether you want Twitter or Facebook linked to your Yahoo! account by going to Settings>Manage my linked accounts.

Go to your activity, hit Edit My Preferences (small link but right there nonetheless), and it'll bring you to Edit My Preferences: About you. Next to that tab will be one that says Privacy and Communications. Then choose to share your Q&A history with contacts only. If she's a contact then no, there's no way. Sorry.
