Sep 19, 2018 at 18:15 comment added public wireless Yes I can answer questions that aren't protected. In regards to answering my own question which is now protected: I get no error message, it just doesn't provide a text box for my answer
Aug 29, 2018 at 13:48 comment added Monica Cellio @publicwireless you got an association bonus, you offered a 100-point bounty (cancelling it out), and I see positive rep from other events on the site. Do you know if you're able to answer questions that aren't protected? (That is, is protection restricting you, or is there some other problem and you just happened to bump into it on a protected question?) Did you get any error messages? If so, have you tried again? Maybe it was a transient server problem?

Aug 29, 2018 at 11:25 comment added LаngLаngС @DoctorWhom "Personal advice denied" is not part of the proposed redesign. It is just to be carried over as well. at-public–wireless: This question is intended primarily as a meta-meta post for SE staff etc. Your first paragraph might therefore be a better fit as a contribution on one of the other recent questions here on meta, while the second might, as Monica pointed out, be a bug reporting question on its own here. – Although: "we" have no way of knowing who is currently in the process of doing what. Closure while someone is editing may be bad luck. Best prevention: edit Q before answering.
Aug 29, 2018 at 3:46 comment added DoctorWhom We're in the process of redesigning the site and we have as a site decided not to answer personal advice questions, so those questions are being rapidly closed to try to keep the tide of unanswerable questions from being overwhelming. Answering those questions perpetuates the problem. If you wish to edit a question to reword it to meet site guidelines so you can answer it, you're welcome to do so. If it's closed before you are able to, please submit a revision and reopen request. We just don't have the manpower to reword/ rewrite all problematic questions, so they have to be closed instead.
Aug 29, 2018 at 1:22 comment added Monica Cellio The second one, about you not being able to answer your own question, sounds like a bug. Could you post a new question (tagged bug) and describe what happened? The only question I see on your account is open and protected; protection means you need at least 10 rep on the site, but you have that, and I wouldn't expect it to apply to self-answers (though maybe I'm wrong?). Anyway, if you post a new question we can get the attention of someone at SE to help figure out what's going on. Thanks.
