    Hey Pkr,

    I understand your frustration, it happens even to the most frequent users of the service. The good news is, Yahoo! Answers staff are aware of this problem and are looking into a fix. This message normally appears when your computer is unable to connect to the Yahoo! Answers server, due to high site traffic of a random error occurred within the system.

    Your method of copying your answers is by far the most practical, however should you forget to do so and you see this error message, hitting the back page function on your browser normally results in your answer being presented on the page, where you can continue to copy and paste.

    All the best

    The copying to the clipboard idea is a good idea, i must remember that one! Ive had that happen a couple of times but i didnt realise it was obviously a common problem, i hope yahoo can iron out their problems!

    I know! I'll write a really thoughtful answer only to click submit and either the question's been deleted or the page is unavailable! Infuriating!
