    Two ways.........1.) .trolls here often copy and paste my answers and then stick them somewhere else.

    They are just point gaming I guess and can't be bothered to post their own answer, so stealing someone else's is quite popular. It's easier and faster, I guess

    2.) if you mean you see your answers on other sites...............yes, I have seen that too.

    Often while searching something...........I will see that my answers appear on AnswerBag, or Quora, or some other site. .......that goes without saying, I have never used in my life.

    I would love to know how my content here on Answers, appears on all these other sites, without my permission.

    and 3.) for the record.......some idiot here, stole this avatar picture and made a fake Facebook account with it..........and posed as me, for months.......even supposedly joining some fake veterans Group on Facebook, using my name...."Weasel McWeasel".

    I have NO such Facebook account under that name. It's an imposter.

    The level of mental sickness here is staggering sometimes.

    Answers can't be transferred. Your answer will post in the question you selected to respond to. Other users can copy your answer, but it will post under their username (or Anonymous), not yours.

    You didn't share an image or link to clarify your question. What you suggest isn't a glitch I've ever seen posted here, and isn't something the system was designed to do.

  • Your question could not be transferred to another person question. What would happen if someone copied and pasted your post to a different question. Also, if you did not close your account when you finished someone used your device to copy and paste it to another question. But what you are asking here is impossible to do.

    Some level 7 accounts probably moved them. ALL a count levels can move their own questions. Open the question. Left click or tap "Edit", left click or tap " Edit category," left click or tap "All" in the upper left corner, , left click or tap the category, left click or tap the subcategory, left click or tap "Submit."

    Stop feeding the egos of the question moving trolls by asking questions about them. You enable and empower them.

    Not ALL level 7 accounts can move questions. My cellphone is NOT a smartphone.

    That's not supposed to be possible.. Maybe someone copied and pasted them?

    If you mean questions getting transferred to random categories... every level 7 user can do that
