I am attached with different forums like yahoo etc in addition to mylot.com. Can I submit the same question to mylot.com for a better reply?

you are making the mistake that many users make when you say "Can I submit the same question to mylot.com for a better reply?"
MyLot and Yahoo etc are completely different. If you post questions here and expect answers then you are not using myLot in the way it should be used because myLot is for DISCUSSIONS. Nowhere does it say that myLot is a question and answer site but we are told that we should further the topic and DISCUSS.
Having said that, if you can post those questions as topics for DISCUSSION and interact with those who respond then you will be doing what is required here. If you post questions and expect replies and that's all, then you are not.

I see from your other comments that you are uncertain about what is written in the Guidelines here on myLot.
We are told in the TermsofUse that our own content may be placed elsewhere but that we ae NOT to copy content from other sites and post it here. We should be original.
Plagiarism (copying the work of others) is an offense.

Hello mysdianait, I know it very well. Any question whether long or short is put here for starting a discussion and different members respond to it in different ways.

I wouldn't say that you could start the same discussion as on another forum as this is seen as plaigaism but you could post a similar one as the same one would get deleted if found to be dupicated from another site but to keep it here, just re-word it so it's not copied. I hope this helps.

hi doctordidi I do not see any reason why that would
not be okay as mylot would not know about the other
forums if the discussion does not break any rules'it
should be fine to use it here in mylot. why not.

i think mylot is enough to find the answer of any question, no need to go anywhere else.
