The why is this blank? Link which i thought would provide more information is disabled for some reason.

The secret question just works fine. But whatever was in this link(why is this blank?) next to the answer box was disabled. It's what i was inquiring about.

I did some digging and could only find an archived version but it doesn't provide that much information as well:

For your security, the answer to your question (as well as your password) is encrypted in such a way that SMF can only tell you if get it right, so it can never tell you (or anyone else, importantly!) what your answer or password is.

I assume that, if someone has the secret question in place on their profile, deleting the question itself (leaving it blank) later on, deletes the feature altogether from the profile (question and answer) with no further consequences. Is that so?

Almost correct:

You need to delete everything on both fields (Q&A) > Enter your "Current Password" > Click "Change profile" button.

^{On a side note: I accidentally clicked "delete" button instead of the # of post for getting the link. Is there any way to get it restored?}
