Why Does Yahoo! Answers Take So Many "Breathers?"
I have been on many boards that are much more active than this one and have never experienced so many "breathers" and "coffee breaks."
What's going on with the Yahoo! software?

I too experienced this last week for an answer that I worked on for over an hour. It happened again last night and then again this morning.
While trying to get my answer in, I searched on the "coffee break" in the above search line. Looking at the responses, one made some sense.
It stated that we, as answers, are limited to how many questions we can answer.
If this is true, it is a poor way for YAHOO! to let us know.
They should put a message in our profile OR
tell us that WE need a coffee break.
I was very frustrated, as I guess you are too.

Update
I just found a table of limits. Yesterday, I was at 301. At that level, I was allowed to answer 40 questions. I guess I was spreading myself too thin...
However at your level, there are no limits! mmm...
Perhaps another suggestion applies to you - that their equipment can't keep up with the volume.

I think they must be asthmatic, or, caffeine addicts, as many coffee breaks and such, as they take..
Not sure why they do that,but, I've been lucky, so far, today..
knock on wood.. LOL

I THINK THE BEST THING TO DO WITH THAT PROBLEM IS TO HIT THE REFRESH BUTTON ON YOUR COMPUTER OR LAPTOP & THE PROBLEM SHOULD CLEAR ITSELF UP. YOU CAN ALSO TRY THE F5 BUTTON ON YOUR KEYBOARD.
