Yahoo answers is acting weird. Constant error messages, it's a long term problem I've had.?

This has been going on a long time but a lot more lately. I wondered if it was just my computer or does it happen to anyone else? I spend a long time answering questions in detail only to hit the submit button and loose it. It gives these errors. There are several different ones that pop up.

"Yahoo answer is not available",

"Question has been deleted"(but it really has not!),

"Not yet migrated",

"You have already activated your profile",

"OOPS taking a coffee break",

or I have to keep signing in over and over. There are others I can't remember to.

I mean it does this all the time, it's very aggravating to loose all your hard work over and over. Is this something I can fix in my computer or yahoo settings? Or is it just going to always be like this? What is the problem? Anyone having these issues besides me? Any suggestions would be most appreciated. I take my yahoo answers pretty seriously and spend time on my answers.

    They had a message yesterday on the main page about unexpected downtime which they were working on. The voting is still wrong with all answers having 100% then none of them. The same with thumbs down and u and many other glitches..It often happens after maintenance Hopefully they will fix it soon.

    "Yahoo answer is not available",

    "Question has been deleted"(but it really has not!),

    I got these msgs too.

    i once made a a very long computation. spent so much time on it only to lose. I did the grueling computatio again(typed it in word) but "Yahoo answer is not available" came up once more ,so, i signed out and signed back in - knowing I didn't lose the one I typed in MSWord. But the next problem is-- I can't find the question anymore.

    I came up to a solution to this.

    Before answering the question I put it in my watch list then do the answer in MSword and so I never lose the question and my Answer.

    Mom, you should copy and paste your answer. Maybe put it into Word or Notepad, or similar. I always highlight any email or anything I type into a box, right click and click copy (or Ctrl C), so that I don't loose what I typed. If your page goes haywire, go back to it and paste what your wrote (Ctrl V). I don't know about your error messages though. I hate those!
