    Yes, it's been happening to me. I guess it's another infermal Yahoo glitch. When it starts happening to me, I log out and go do other stuff.

    What I do in advance if the site is presenting glitches is to copy & paste....my answer...so that IF it disappears, I can immediately copy * paste it and not have to lose my answer and have to begin again. This especially helpful if i have really worked on an answer therefore I don't lose the opportunity...now I do not always do this but again IF the site gives me problems it is a safety net.

    This has happened to me numerous times over the past few days. I am glad you asked this question. It happens when I post a question or an answer and sometimes it takes two or three times to get it to go through.

    Source(s): Thanks, I was afraid it was my PC.

    This has happened to me 2 x's, I thought the questions were really good, and so was my answer. Yahoo, said they were taking a breather???

    And I recently lost 10 points due to something??? could have been a response to a question that should not have been asked, never happened to me before.

    I need to read the rulings . . . . quite surprising to me, all this time I've been on here this has never happened.

    On the home page it says we are doing some upgrades and you may experience some odd behaviour. They sure are not wrong.

  • i thought this happens when someones blocked you. try a different category and see what happens.
