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.

Why have the "newest answers" not changed in the past 30 minutes?

I like answering questions when they're fresh, but for the past 30 minutes Yahoo! has displayed the exact same questions up top when I "sort by newest". I've tried refreshing, clearing my cache, and even using a different browser. It's almost as if Yahoo! updates its own database even less often than Google updates its database of the entire internet - but surely Yahoo! isn't this ridiculously broken... right?

    I have been having that exact same problem as well. I don't know why either. I think it might be malfunctioning. I myself, love to answer those fresh questions too. And when I click on a question that says it has 0 answers it comes up with 10-20 answers. Yahoo! please fix this!! :D
