I have started a Sci-Fi hub that people can ask for help in finding old sci-fi movies or TV shows they may have seen in thier past and need the title of. I wanted the questions and answers to appear on my main hub page so that others can read them if they are looking for the same films but they are publish on a seperate page... should I just get people to ask questions in the comments box and answer through that or just carry on answering with the ask and answer section? I am new to all this as this is my first hub. I hope this makes sense somehow? Help!
Welcome to HubPages!
The "questions and answer" section of HubPages isn't for having a dialogue with people, and you earn no money from it. It's really just a place to get inspiration for Hubs. Interaction happens in the comments on your Hubs.
However, though I hate to discourage anyone from using HubPages, I can't help feeling your idea would be much more successful on a blog (perhaps on blogger.com, where you can also monetize with Adsense and Amazon).
The trouble with a blog is that (unlike HubPages) you'll have to do a lot of promoting before anyone will notice it - but that's where you can write Hubs about related topics, each one with a couple of links to your blog, to raise its profile.
Questions and answers can both be seen on every page in the comment Hubpages is more article writing than Blogging. If I were you I would write an article about your interests and some of your favorite Sci-Fi topics then offer your willingness to assist through the comment section.

I am not looking to name names here as this happens quite a lot on Hubpages, but can someone please clarify whether or not it is against the rules for a Hubber to come to your hub, leave a comment and then include a link to one of their own hubs as a part of that comment. I know it says under each...

In the past, from my profile page, in the hubtivity section, I could click "this comment" to go directly to the comment I previously posted on someone's Hub. Doesn't seem to be working now. Instead, I just get landed at the top of the destination Hub.It's a funny sensation. I keep waiting...

What are the potentially cons of not using a comment box?I'm tired of answering the same questions over and over again. I'm tired of getting rude comments. I'm tired of dealing with it basically. I want to help people, but answering the same question over and over again or having to defend myself...

Why did you not include a comment section on your hub about the wedding songs?This hub would, I think generated many comments.

Several followers have let me know via email and otherwise, that they are unable to post a comment on my new hub! One even said that I could copy and paste her comment via email into my hub, which I tried and all it does is take me back to the top of my hub. Please HP Team help me...
