Has any one of the answerers experienced this?

When I type the answer and click on "submit" 7 out of 10 times the screen says this question is deleted. When I scroll back, the question is very much there after several minutes. It is waste of my time. Has any one experienced this? And what is the way out? Can anyone Please tell me?

    You can also try clearing out anything on your OWN computer that might be triggering the event - like old, possibly corrupt, cache files. Sign out, clear ALL cache files (temp, history, cookies, etc.) and restart the computer. That last part is essential to be sure the cache is really cleaned out. See if that helps any. If not, you can try using another browser for a while and see if that helps.

    This is just an annoying glitchy yahoo thing. It's happening a lot less lately, but most times, simply hitting 'refresh' will clear the 'question deleted' message and return you to the question, where you'll see that your answer has posted.

    Question deleted has happened a few times with me but not often.

    Going back to the previous page will load what's in your computors memory. It doesn't neccesarily mean the question is still there.
