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.

What do I have to do?

It won't let me thumb, it won't let me star, I doubt that this question will post, (Third try now)

Half the time it won't let me answer, What the hell good is it?

Update:

Hey Yahooey...ya owe me 10 points.

Update 2:

Clicked on my activity, it says I don't have any. Cheese and rice!!!

    I can't remember any other time in the past several years when there have been so many different kinds of Yahoo glitches all at the same time. When Yahoo "fixes" things, they really do a bang-up job. Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo. Nyuck Nyuck Nyuck!

    EDIT: Now THIS is REALLY unbelievable: A minute ago I posted an answer to the question from "Wings of Prayer" about the sex scandals in Britain. Then a minute later I went back into my answer to fix a spelling error (because Mister Pencil, as usual, is totally useless). And instead of MY answer appearing on the screen, I got the answer posted by "Glenn." So I tried the "refresh" button, but "Glenn's" answer came back once again as MY answer. So I edited Glenn's answer and successfully re-posted it. Except that it appeared as a duplicate of Glenn's answer, but next to my name. I suspect that may be the most bizarre glitch the Yahoo-hooeys have invented yet.

    Here is another star and it stuck.. .I have had problems all week with YA since everyone at the tweaking department went to the convention ( or is it retirement week for the master fixer?) and the new intern with the wrench & the hammer was left to follow the bloody tweaking instructions. I am sure it will either get better or they figure we will get used to it...

    The Yahoo gods are punishing you.

    What do you have to do? Confess all.

    (This is going to be interesting.)

    Almost the same here. Was perusing open questions when Yahoo asked me if I wanted to sign up for an account!

    Oops!..

    The bas-tu-rd won't let me vote best answer. I have been trying to vote best answer for two days now. Then I keep getting a blank page saying ''server hang up'' Yeah it has a hang up alright. Spell check is still crapy. It would NOT let me get out of my E- mail page the other day and I had to pull the plug. To add insult to injury it has the nerve to tell me to make someones day and choose best answer. I try to answer some questions that are on the board, but they tell me they are deleted. I think the yamster is living in a dream world. Might fell down the rabbit hole with Alice and taking tea with the mad hatter.

    OMG, this is Power & I have Bashki's answer. I am Editing to say I gave every a TU's. We are in the Twilight's Zone.
