Why is Yahoo Answers always taking a breather?
It's really annoying to type out a whole answer and then not be able to post it. This really needs to get fixed soon!

If you use the percent sign in your answer, it'll say that it's taking a breather.

There is a problem when you use some special symbols within an answer. It has been a few days now and it has not been fixed yet. I know it occurs with a percent sign. I am positive of that. Try spelling out any special symbols. You can then go back and edit the answer and change them back to the actual symbol if desired later.
NOTE: I have also heard that the error may occur when you reach your answer limit instead of the normal message. There is a 20 answer limit at level 1 and the error starts occuring when you reach that point.
