I\'ve noticed lately some of the answers to the KudoZ questions disappearing after a day or two. I\'m not sure how or why this happens, but since I can see a little \"hide x\" at the bottom of my posting(s), I suspect this is a newly (?) added feature to hide my suggestion. Can someone please explain, since the KudoZ FAQ link only gives me a pop-up window with an error message: \"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getstrings() in /home/pages/proz/inc/item/in...

Dear All,
I\'ve noticed lately some of the answers to the KudoZ questions disappearing after a day or two. I\'m not sure how or why this happens, but since I can see a little \"hide x\" at the bottom of my posting(s), I suspect this is a newly (?) added feature to hide my suggestion. Can someone please explain, since the KudoZ FAQ link only gives me a pop-up window with an error message: \"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getstrings() in /home/pages/proz/inc/item/inc_item_faq_kudoz.php on line 2\"
TIA,

P.S. As a second thought, why would anyone hide their answer? In light of the other postings? Is this fair? ▲ Collapse

I don't know what happens with your "hiding" facility...

But I give you some of the reasons somebody might want to hide their answer:
-Answer was wrong and answerer has realised too late (we are all humans and sometimes post an answer before reading the question properly, thus missing the real context!)
-Answer was given in the wrong target language. It has happened to me three or four times: getting a question to translate from English into German, but I gave the answer in Spanish! The Germans almost threw me... See more

This two kind of mistakes have happened when I first began to use KudoZ. Now I am much more careful. I always send an e-mail to the asker (if possible) apologising for my mistake and explaining the reasons why I\'ve hidden my answer.
To get that function, maybe you should contact ProZ support!
