Yahoo! - 999 Unable to process request at this time?

More and more frequently now I'm getting this error when I try to SUBMIT an answer.

It doesn't happen to all answers, it only seems to target specific questions and then the error NEVER clears for that one answer. I can answer other questions without a problem while this error is happening. I've even tried opening another browser and answering the problem question from there.

What the ***** is going on in Answers?

Update:

EDIT: Thanks for that. It worked. I don't know why the URL I added was banned, nothing wrong with it, but there you go....

    you must answer this question without any url which you are going to paste under your answer........yahoo has baned the url.........lol........the same happened with me when i wrote an email to yahoo they ask me to contact my isp and they dont know what the error999 is..........then i find an old answer here and find that problem is due to url posted many times by me to download or for any reference.

    good luck

    EDIT

    yahoo want to promote their products by us thats why they baned the website to post again and again....don't worry search for similar web site as i did and post to asker.
