Yahoo is working on the site. They are putting the finishing touches on the Home Page and also making changes to Y!A. You can sometimes anticipate the problems by hovering your cursor over ANSWERS at the left side of the Home Page. Today it said "Answers encountered problems while loading". That is when the weird things happen. Like names turning into "?".
