Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Has anyone noticed that your points fluxuate?

While log in to Yahoo Answers your total points are low, then scroll to next page of answers it goes where should be. Then scroll next page for third time, the points go somewhere in between. Also, you can literally answer the same identical question twice or even three times.

Update:

The refresh button only works for awhile, then same thing happens again. You can log off answers and in same day re-log back in and get another point for just loggin in.

    The site has a glitch in it, and has for some time now. When you notice the same questions just hit the refresh button and reload the page.

    I got weird about that too. :) I figured out that you get points when you get a thumbs up, and lose points if a question you answered got deleted.
