Why does yahoo answers direct me to the "oldest" questions?

Many times not only today but over the past few weeks I click on a category and it directs me to the oldest questions of that section. And if I refresh it sends me back into (normal) newest mode. What does this happen is it a glitch?

Update:

-_- I know how to change it back

    I was actually wondering that myself. It just started doing that this week.

    i think it is a glitch. It doesn't always happen, though...but it's happened a lot lately.

    Sorry, i can't be of more help...

  • Theres an update where u can decide whether you would like to see the newest or oldest. To change simply click "oldest" and it should change to "newest", this button should be right above the first question they show u.

    It's most likely a glitch in the Yahoo Answer system and i'm sure Yahoo is bound to fix that in a short amount of time.

    Since you already know how to fix it, it shouldn't be too much of a problem with you.

    Look above the questions and it says "sorted by". If it says "oldest" then you are seeing oldest first. Click on the arrow after "oldest". Also make sure "n̲e̲w̲e̲s̲t̲" is underlined. If not you may be seeing "m̲o̲s̲t̲ p̲o̲p̲u̲l̲a̲r̲" or "m̲o̲s̲t̲ a̲n̲s̲w̲e̲r̲s̲".
