Has anybody noticed that you can't edit your Answers anymore?

I keep trying to edit, and my original answer is showing up again. Y!A is getting worse!!!

    No. I'll check by inserting a typo in my answer here, then trying to edit it out. If the typo remains it means you are right.

    I did notice! I was trying to edit an answer the other day for about 10 minutes because I thought it was just a glitch, but looks like more people are getting the "glitch"... Let me see if it's still not working today. If nothing appears under this line, it's not working!!!

    *It works again!!! :D

    Glitch. You must know that Y!A will always have glitches.

    The edit glitch is bad for experts because if someone adds "Additional Details", experts won't able to edit their answers due to the glitch.

    It has also been reported here: http://suggestions.yahoo.com/?prop=answers

    This is a test. Going to see if I can edit.

  • Yep, I was literally attempting to do that just prior to seeing this question. I was trying edit my answer to thank another person for helping me to remember where I had seen a certain actor (Mr. Mayhem in the Allstate commercials) because it had really been driving me crazy. She mentioned he used to be on Law & Order:SVU. Thanks Dead Parrot Society!!

    Wow, I just tried to do an edit but you are right, it was rejected. I guess we need to get it right the first time.

    Yeah, I noticed that, too. I kept trying to add something, and it reverted back to the first thing I posted. Hopefully Y!A will fix it up soon.

    Hmmm..so that's what all the updates were for lately. Typical yahoo going from bad to worse.
