Why don't all the answers to my question show up?

I asked a question yesterday and I've received 6 emails with different answers; however, when I go to my question on mahalo.com I see only three answers. I want to chose one of the invisible answers as the best one, but I can't see it or vote for it on the web site. What's happening? How can I fix this?

Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Most likely, the extra answers were left by users that have not yet clicked on the activation link that was e-mailed to them. We allow unactivated users to ask and answer questions, but the questions and answers won't appear on the site until they are activated.

There is currently a bug that's causing the total number of answers (whether by activated users or not) to be shown on the homepage and category pages; we're working on fixing it.

That makes sense. Thanks.

@eger: When a user hasn't yet authenticated, there is a form at the top of every page reminding them to do so.

Is there anyway to 'remind' people to click on the activation link? I'd hate to think there is someone out there who's going around answering questions and hoping for tips without realizing they can't receive tips.

I think it's something Jason and his team will have to fix. I just followed your link to make sure it wasn't just something in your browser, and I only saw three, too.

I believe the administrators are removing some of the answers. My answer to the user who asked for instructions on how to build a nuclear weapon no longer appears.
