Why I cannot edit my answer?
I tried to add more information to a answer already posted and get the following:
Yahoo! Answers is currently unavailable...
Yahoo! Answers is experiencing technical difficulties. We appreciate your patience while we fix the problem and apologize for any inconvenience. We assure you we aim to have service restored as soon as possible. In the meantime here are some things you can do while you wait...
Has anyone else experience this before and how long does it take for Yahoo! to fix this error? Can I find a way to get around this problem and edit my answer?
The person did not delete their question; I can tell if it was removed if I no longer saw it on "My Answers" in the "My Activity" section. I answered another question yesterday and had no problem resubmitting it. It's only ONE question for some weird reason I can't edit and keep continuing to get the "oops... yahoo answers is currently unavailable...." statement.

You may have reached your answer limit for the day. Once you do, you can't edit, either. You may be posting a link that is being blocked. If you think that may be the problem, try putting it in the source box. Your answer may be too long.

Yes, I have. It's a system glitch , probably caused by too many people making too many demands on the3 Yahoo servers to close together in time. Yahoo has band width problems, , so you get that default display when the system can't handle your "request without one of the Yahoo server computers crashing and going offline, possibly creating a chain reaction situation with all the other cervers crashing and YA going offline. Tha't's assuming there are no problems at your end. Try refreshing the page or just take a break and come back and try again later. Takea bathroom break. It's a VERY temporary glitch.

Technical problems happen on any interactive site like this. It depends on what the problem is how long it takes to fix it. I'm sure everyone has experienced it before. Usually it's a momentary glitch when you get that message. Sometimes just going back and trying again is successful.
