I see on many of the notifications for hubbers who have answered a question, it will say something like, "So and so, and two others answered the question . . . " When I look at the questions though there is only the author's answer like usual. What does this mean?
Also, I'm noticing on several people hubs, that there are links. In some cases the person has added links to other articles of theirs and in other cases there is a list of "related questions" each of which is a link to a dedicated page for that questions and which also has links to the other related questions. I don't see any option to add links on an answer and didn't even know it was possible. But it's a good way to add traffic to other questions for the same article without the person needing to go back to the original article. Any info on how people are doing this would be appreciated.
Not completely out of topic, but I would like it if I didn't receive notifications every time an author I follow answers a question. I have a feeling this issue is fixed as I didn't have any notifications today, but just throwing it out there, in case it isn't.
There's another thread on that Brandon. You might want to take a look.
To add the link from your hub (or someone elses) just highlight the URL, copy it, and paste it as part of your answer.

Is anybody else irritated that when answering a question, you get told the answer is too short?I have tried answering a few questions, and while I am not just writing yes or no, I apparently don't have enough words. I had a 6 word answer and they wouldn't accept it. Do you think that forces a...

So, I understand that the question-answer section is to inspire hubs, BUT it feels a little disingenuous to use the information everyone provided, especially when that information would fit nicely in a list. I asked a question about recipes and received lots of great replies. How do I make a...

I get a LOT of questions on my article about hamsters. Most of them have answers that can easily be found in the article. I’m not going to lie; it’s getting tiring answering the same question for the fifteenth time, especially as the asker would know if they bothered to read the article properly....
