Why Can't I See My History of Questions Asked Here?

Quora's platform offers users various privacy options when asking questions, which can sometimes lead to confusion about why certain questions don't appear in your question history. This guide will help you understand the different scenarios in which your questions could be private, merged, and displayed only in your edit history.

Overlooking Privacy Settings

When you post a question on Quora, you have a choice of making it public or posting it in a limited way that only your followers are notified. However, it is important to note that your questions are still public in the sense that they show up in your edit history, where anyone who searches for your name can find them. Moreover, your questions can still be found if someone searches for questions specifically related to your name.

Posting Questions in Different Contexts

There are several ways in which your questions might not appear in your history:

If you posted the question in a space or as a comment, it may not be publicly visible in your question history.

If your question was redundant or merged with another similar question, it might not appear in your question log.

Reviewing Your Question History

To review your question history, follow these steps:

Click on the blue face icon anywhere on the Quora platform to access your profile.

On your profile page, look for the 'Questions' tab and click on it to view a list of your questions, sorted by the most recent first.

Additionally, you can see more detailed information about your activity on Quora by navigating to the 'Profile' section, where you will find a breakdown of your contributions, including answers and questions.

Why Not Everything Is Public

Although everything on Quora is generally considered public, there are some settings and actions that can affect the visibility of your questions. For instance, if you unfollow a question, it will no longer appear under the 'Questions' tab of your profile, but it will still be visible in your edit history and contributions section.

Conclusion

It's important to review your privacy settings and understand the different ways your questions can be displayed or hidden on Quora. By doing so, you can better manage your question history and ensure that your content is as visible as intended.
