Refresh button in Yahoo Answers?

I have been here at YA for a long time, mostly answering and not asking questions. It used to be that at the bottom of a page of questions, you could scroll back from new to old questions, pages and pages and pages worth of them. Now often times (not always) a refresh button that keeps bringing up the same 10-15 questions but nothing any further back.

Is this a new feature or is there a glitch somewhere? I preferred the other way, to be sure.

    That is because you are in the "Recommended" list of questions, NOT the OPEN list of them. Check the TOP of the list of questions, click the OPEN tab and you will be able to find older questions by paging through the boxes at the bottom.

    The "Recommended" tab is an innovation of YA that is being randomly tested. Most folks seem to hate it. You can try getting rid of it by signing out, clearing ALL cache files and restarting your computer. If that does not work, just wait a few days and it should go away again and you'll be back to the way you like it.
