Why does Answers say I need to log in with a different ID?

I keep recieving an OOPS. This is the ID I've had since I signed up for Answers. Has someone stolen my user name and ID to strip me of my earned points?

    The Answers site has had some problems for the last few days. The Yahoo Answers Team is working hard to fix the bugs. That is a glitch and has happened to me also. It doesn't do that when the site is working normally. Remember, it is a computer that checks user ID's to keep them from being duplicated. The bugs are messing it up too.

    I got that response also. Then I got a message that Yahoo Answers were on a "coffee break". I couldn't go anywhere without seeing either/both of these responses. Seems they are "back to work" now.

    I think they had all our ID's mixed and they have a huge problem getting them back...that's why they need a breather...they need to fix their system....but then...we are all back online...I think there is no need for a new Id now....!!
