We're taking a breather. Did you also get this message?

When I try clicking in to some questions, the message I get from Yahoo answers is:

We're taking a breather. Yahoo answers is on a coffee break......

Did you also receive this message today, or ever?

    Yahoo Answers was shut down yesterday from 9 a.m. Pacific Standard Time to about 4 p.m., same time zone. All it said was "We're taking a breather." They had warned about this for a week or more before the shutdown. What they did during that time no one knows, but Yahoo answers was "on a coffee break." No biggie. Surely people could find something to do with their lives while Yahoo repaired it's mess.

    Yes, this is popping up occasionally, a day after they did their updates. I'm also getting a "Drat, there's nothing here now, why don't you try asking a question?" error screen sometimes when I click to go to the next page of questions. I'm guessing there are still a few bugs to be worked out from the updates.

    Yes I did yesterday (Sunday) because of the different time zone they were down then but today they are back and I received a "Best Answer" that I had done on Saturday too.

    Yep.

    It's the improvement Yahoo did yesterday.

    It must be a union thing, taking all these breaks.

    I get it a lot too. I am guessing its just file maintenance or people all on at once, jamming the server. Just click on Answer...it catches up and you can continue.

    I got it yesterday. I know they had it down at least part of the day for updates. They may still be working on it.
