Why are the oldest questions showing up first? This is annoying?

    Annoying is the word.

    I keep forgetting to reset the doohicky to newest and have answered a couple old questions as a consequence.

    "Going to India" ! How many times have I clicked that!

    Yes, I hope they don't break something else when they do fix it.

    It is just a glitch on the site at the moment, to clear it just click on (underneath the green tab Open) Sort By: Oldest and this changes to Newest and all the latest questions are there

    Well, I don't know "why", but it sure is annoying! I guess it's just the latest glitch. You can change it to sort 'newest first' if you click where it says 'oldest' at the top of the list of questions. BUT, it won't keep/save that preference for next time. Grrrrr....

    That is this weeks glitch and it is happening to many users. when that happens, at the top of the questions page where it says Oldest click it and it will change to NEWEST. Yahoo is aware of the problem and hopefully will fix it soon without causing a worse glitch.

    I think this is a question 2 be directed to YAHOO, not put out for a general query

    I know! I've seen that "going to India" question 1000 times! At first I thought it was spam lol!
