Munchkin asked in Yahoo ProductsYahoo Answers · 1 decade ago

When I answer a question and hit "Submit" it won't go through. Why?

After answering a question I get a screen that says "Yahoo answers currently unavailable" I've been getting this all the time for over a week now. What's going on?!

    Don't worry, that happened to me too. After looking at my answers, it showed that the answer did go through. Try looking for them in your answers. If they're not there, then you should report it to Yahoo.

    Yes, I think that's the problem. Don't worry, your answers went through. If you go to your answers, you can see that you have answers from today, and from a few days ago.

    It has been happening to me for a couple days, but I found a way around it. When it will not take your answer click the back arrow, copy your answer then click the refresh button. Your answer will be gone, Type Hi, click Submit, for some reason it will take it. Click Edit paste your answer in then click Preview and Submit.

    I've been getting the same thing.

    But it's cuz I was posting a link,...like a video on YouTube.

    So,...I post my answer,...with no links,....and then I edit my answer,...& put the links back in.
