Getting question has been deleted page when submits answer.?

Twice today, when I've written out an answer and clicked on submit - I've been taken to the this question has been deleted page. Both times, when I tried again, the answer went through. Has anyone else had this problem? Usually I just give up when I submit an answer and get this page, but these two times I had read some of the other answers before I submitted mine and knew the question had been open for at least a little time. What's up?

Update:

Glad to hear this has happened to other people today. I'm interested in seeing how widespread this is, so haven't chosen the best answer.

Another thing just happened, I answered a question, clicked submit, and had it go somewhere over the rainbow. When the list of answers to the question opened, mine wasn't there.

    It's happening a LOT. Just click back until you see your typed-out answer again, and then try to re-submit. I've had to resubmit a billion times today and it's freakin' annoying. This is either one big-*** update, or someone's failing to update us badly.

  • For you first problem, go back and submit it again or just refresh the page.

    For you second problem, go back and Submit it again.

    Y!A are working to resolve issues and maintenance work is still going on. It will get fixed soon.

    Have a nice day! :)

    This is happening because of the maintenance yahoo is doing. The answer is probably there just go back to your profile to check to see if the question you answered is there.
