Deleted or resolved questions in the open questions list?
I was in one of the categories, on the open questions tab with sorting set to ascending order of answer count ie 0 answers first. Some of the questions turned out to be deleted or resolved when clicked. Refreshing the top page did not clear these questions from the list. Is this a bug in the database query?

This is a two year old major glitch that Yahoo has admitted they do not have the smarts to fix. Sad isn't it. In some categories the first 10-15 pages sorted that way are "stuck" questions. I am in Tie-Busters, but until the main Yahoo people start hearing the cries of the masses from YA, nothing will be done.

You, as asker, can delete open questions. If a question is in balloting and the final public of the voters elect "no ultimate answer" then that is deleted and the asker gets their 5 factors back. If that is resolved, in ordinary terms Yahoo can delete it. They delete it if the question or answer violate the community policies or words of provider.

Yes there is a huge number of questions in each section I have looked at that are either resolved or have been deleted.
It has been that way as long as I have been here.
That would be a good suggestion to make, click the forum link, and see how it flies.
