How do I make my questions and answers private?

[Barkley Hound]

To hide q&a from non Y!A pages including email (except for search engines) change your setting here.

For Y!A you can only hide the list in your profile and not the actual questions and answers.

There is no way to hide questions and answers on Yahoo! Answers. It would serve no purpose. This site is for people to do research by looking for questions and associated answers. Questions can always be found by a search on the subject or they can be found with a Yahoo or Google search..

Many people hide the list of questions and answers in their profile. This is done so that someone who has something against them can't just go through the list and send violations for everything.

The option to hide the list is in your profile at "my activity" and then "edit my preferences". Shortcut http://answers.yahoo.com/my/my_edit
Then click on "privacy and communications".
You can allow the list to be seen by "everyone", "my contacts and fans only", or "my contacts only". You must have no contacts to hide from everyone.
