Is it possible Yahoo blocked my account from answering questions?

Sorry, Unable to process request at this time -- error 999.

Unfortunately we are unable to process your request at this time. This error is usually temporary. Please try again later.

I've sent multiple emails to Yahoo, but they only give me the same automated response every time. I've reset my IP address, cleared my cache, cookies, and everything else but I still have it. But the funny thing is if I make a new account I can answer questions on it, does it mean yahoo blocked my account from answering?

Update:

Thank you H-man, I have already tried that, but it seemed to have no effect

    From what i can make out it may be because you could have picked up a virus and have been quarantined to prevent the spread of this virus......yahoo answers is like a doctors surgery, by hanging around here so much it is easy to pick up infection!

    Again as far as i can make out it should only last a couple of days maximum.

    Try and run a virus scan on you're computer and see if anything comes up.

    Good Luck! Be back soon!

    Suspended potential suspended for ever except you allure interior of 7 days and win. very few appeals are gained. approximately all you're able to do with a suspended account is to place up textile on the advice Board yet you would be unable to ask or answer any questions with regards to the main substantial Board. starting to be a clean account and commencing afresh like a clean member with a hundred factors, as you have executed, is many times the only determination you have in case you pick to proceed to be a member.

    I freaking hate that error 999. I get that a lot because i love it here but i don't seem to get it as much as i used to get. It's possibly because i have firewall security and virus protection. For around $10-$30 you can go to the computer shop and get a firewall virus protector. Put it on your computer and make your firewall settings high and it gets rid of that stupid error. It's worth it in the end.
