Yahoo Answers: "We're taking a breather"
Why is it that whenever I give a long answer to a question, Yahoo Answers tells me it is "Taking a Breather"? It is so irritating!

Known new glitches: Using the percent symbol, hitting your daily answering limit, or having the answer screen open for more than 3 minutes may all give you the 'breather' screen. Use short answers and post them, then edit them. Eliminate as many symbols as possible from your answer. Also links can cause problems. They know, they will hopefully be fixing this recent glitches as they go along.
