I'm getting FRESH questions from Yahoo,that are already answered. Anyone else having that problem?

Lately, I've been getting questions from Yahoo, and I click on them within minutes after receiving them and they are already answered from DAYS ago. This happens every few months and seems that Yahoo all of a sudden falls WEEKS behind in circulating questions to certain areas of Yahoo. A few weeks ago people were asking me if I was having a problem. At the time they were having a problem I was NOT having a problem but NOW I am ... anyone else out there having this same problem? Hopefully, Yahoo will see this and correct the problem or do they even care? Is this the BP of the internet? :)

Update:

I agree that it is caused by system changes. Whenever there is a massive update it takes them time to get the page back together. I imagine there are a LOT of people working relentlessly to keep this site functional.

I'm going to keep this up as long as possible to let everyone answer, but even then there will no doubt be people getting this WEEKS later with the B/A already chosen. Sorry to anyone who gets this late but I am trying to keep it open long enough for everyone to answer.

The last time this happened I put this question out there and I think the Yahoo spiders found it and reported it to the "boss" and soon it was fixed ( in about a month ). Let's see if they are getting faster. I got some fresh questions today so life is improving at Yahoo. :)

    Same here.

    I went over to the YA suggestion board (see link below) and found that this and other glitches have been reported and the YAT is supposed to be working on them, apparently this stuff happens as side effects of system changes.

    Yes, the questions I get at the moment are anything up to 2 weeks old, and have all already been answered and BA.

    I received your question just now, and I see it is already 3 days old. Not too bad compared with the 2 week old ones that I was receiving this morning.

    It's a bit trying to be up to 2 weeks behind in seeing questions, and hopefully it won't last too long. Something like this was happening last autumn, but it went on for months on that occasion.

    I've been receiving old questions too. It started about two days ago. So far, the ones I've gotten this morning have been new.

    Actually, I guess not. I just saw that you asked this question three days ago. lol

    I have been receiving the already BA questions also. I sometimes believe Yahoo likes to stir things up to see how we will all react?

    Cheers...

    I click on a new page and the same page reloads, sometimes more than once. Glad it is not just me.
