YA coffee breaks and time-outs. Are they for real?

Yesterday and today the breaks seem to be worse than they have in the past year! Does anyone know what's going on? Are they (YA) actually doing something about the poor quality of programing, or they just overwhelmed with hits!?

    I can heard Rod Serling's voice and the music from the TV show TWILIGHT ZONE... "Kazlith thought she was going to Yahoo Answers but, instead, she wound up in YaHELL!!!"

    Sorry but an asker cannot choose "no best answer" like voters though that may be why so many questions are left to go into voting. If I'm not satisfied with the answers, I use the little envelope icon under the question to email the question to friends in the hopes that they will answer.

    Or you can extend the time for answering using the pencil icon under the question in the toolbar and hope more people answer.

    You can also withdraw the question from consideration. You don't get your 5 points back but you're then free to ask again. Again, use the little pencil icon under the question in the toolbar.

    Yes, I agree, it use to happen occasionally, now it seems almost constant, Perhaps if Google does take over Yahoo they will fix the problem.

    How many coffee breaks, can they take, or is that the problem, just too much caffeine?

    They seem to have plenty of them. I was really bad yesterday and took ages to post Q&A. Now there's some services thing attached to the top of this and you have to keep scrolling down the page.

Yahoo enable their servers bypass on damage, and they short-circuited upon eating suggested espresso.. they're engaged on getting replacments proper now.

    It simply means that they are tweaking the code, trying to get things fixed. Just use a combination of the BACK button and F5 (Refresh) to work around it. Usually works for me.
