What happened? I used to be the top "Diseases & Conditions" and "STDs" answerer and now I'm not on there?

I used to be the number 1 "Diseases & Conditions" and "STDs" top answerer and now I am removed. I have been the number 1 answerer for over a year and now I'm not even in the top 10.

This happened a few weeks ago with another top answerer. In fact, she was the number 1 top answerer for the Health section and now she's not even in the top 10.

What's going on? Why have I been removed? Has this happened to anyone else?

Update:

I had over 1100 "Best Answers" in the Diseases & Conditions section and I have over 1000 "Best Answers" in the STDs section.

    Oh gosh, I just saw this. Alli, if I could hand the top spot back to you, I would. You deserve it way more than I do. Really, you are an asset to the Y!A STD forum.

    Hey Y!A mods, can you put Alli back in where she belongs? It's okay with me if she keeps the #1 rank.

    ADDENDUM for ALLI: On the Y!A help boards, it seems there are a few people with the same problem. Y!A Team recommends not updating your profile for now till they can fix the glitches. Did you update your profile recently? That may be the reason.

    Source(s): Keep up the good work, gal!

    It has been my observation that things change literally "by the minute" on this site, and I've been here since 10-06-06. I'm not a top answerer in any category, but you can't "rest and be comfortable" at any point in this. There is always another "top gun" ready to "take you off your totem pole."

    The Yamster giveth and the Yamster taketh away. It's been happening to a lot of people. Yatzmin (or whatever her name is) who used to be leader in the Yahoo Products category was whining about it the other day.

    Yahoo made some changes. Some people got screwed out of their leader positions due to the shake up. They're looking into it.

    I think it happened to everyone. Mine was in Address Book and calendar. The new one has less than I did.

    I saw an answer here, I think from Yahzmin that she had contacted yahoo. They told her it was now separated by location, country, etc.

    Some download went off the tracks, so people find themselves missing.

    Y!A is working on it, but it doesn't appear to be that big of a priority for them
