Is anyone else having major glitches on Y! Answers.?

My thumbs up and thumbs down have been changing often. For one answer I had 3 thumbs up, no thumbs down. Later on I had 3 thumbs up and 3 thumbs down. Later on I had 1 thumbs up, no thumbs down. Now it's finalized and I have 4 thumbs up and 2 thumbs down.

This glitch has been happening all week for me. That and getting logged off when I vote for some reason.

Just another week on Y! Answers I suppose.

    A few problems have been noted within Yahoo! Answers following the recent out-surge, noticeably concerning the voting and thumbs up system presenting users with error messages.

    The Yahoo! Answers team generally pick up on such errors quickly and should be working to resolve the issue. Please report any bugs, or read up on recent errors at:

    They had a message two days ago 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 up.It often happens after maintenance Now I cannot post or use the forum either Hopefully they will fix it soon.

    Oh, absolutely. Answer a question, and the answer appears with several thumbs-up and several thumbs-downs. Try voting, and you get to the page with the % and number of votes and - guess what? - NO votes, everything at 0% (and of course, you wouldn't be seeing that page unless you'd voted....).

    It's such a completely powerless position, isn't it, trying to engage with this board? Doesn't matter what you say or where you try to say it, Yahoo just goes on with its bizarre lunacies and we're all in the dark. And yet somehow we keep doing it......

    EDIT: Oh, hallo, thumbs-down stalker. I'm beginning to get used to the fact that I'll have a TD within a few seconds of answering almost anything. I wonder which of my contacts you must be.........

    Or... perhaps you're not there. The mad thumbs-chaos on here means I've suddenly gone from one TU and one TD to none of either.......

    Whoops, back to one TU and one TD!! This is crazy!!

    LATER: what is REALLY aggravating me is that my votes just aren't showing up. Ever.

    Yeah, your not the only one, one time it automatically made me press thumbs down, when I didn't even want to. These current glitches might last for another week.
