Notice to Yahoo -- I too, who should be able to answer unlimited questions, am told I have reached my limit?

Why is this? Haven't even answered that many today. And I have some very specific info people are dying to hear.

    New enhancements are going live .. I think as we type. Check out the forum,

    http://messages.next.yahoo.com/next/threadview?bn=...

    -Spell Checking on the Answer page

    -Additional Details on a question follow you to the 'answer' screen

    -New scoring

    --- 1 point for logging on (reportedly, once per day)

    --- 5 points to ask a question, 3 points for resolving a question

    -Option on the Edit Profile page to allow communication by email or messenger with other users.

    -New Limits on activity, like the number of questions you can ask even at Level 5

    According to the Yahoo! Answers team, "The inability of Level 5 (and only Level 5) members to answer questions is a newly-discovered bug. We're running it down now."

    -The y_answers_team notice in the forum link above,

    "Oh, yeah--there's lots of great stuff today. Amy will post a complete list on the blog when we're done, in the next couple of hours, but you've been finding some of the goodies on your own. There also is an unexpected bug: If you're on Level 5, you might have problems _answering_ (but not asking) questions. We're on it--please bear with us. We'll get back to you here later on, with more."

    WOW, you sure answered a lot of questions. I guess Yahoo limits your activity to prevent abuse on their site. Sometimes good apples get effected by the bad ones. I want to applaude you for helping this site be as successful as it is through all your answers.
