Seniors. Is anyone else having trouble?

selecting a best answer?

For two days now I have been choosing best answers, only to have the question reappear as open, and not 'Resolved'.

Today I have tried 5 times to choose a best to my question on modern childhood, and I'm still back at square one.

It seems the mighty and omnipotent Yahoo has still not got its act together.

    Since when did Yahoo ever have it's act together?

    i've got observed extremely some issues happening weirdly with Y!A. the day earlier as we communicate, for various minutes, the class 'Bullfighting' regarded interior the 'Society & way of existence' record. i presumed "WHAT!!" Then it disappeared. (I saved going lower back to make sure, i presumed i replaced into going loopy!) And the beside the point 'spell verify' record is getting longer with misspelled words to decide for between. And something remotely close to to the be conscious you spelled is on the backside of the record. a number of their suggestions do no longer look in Webster's maximum recent version. a number of my ?? are not posting. The TU/TD determination disappeared on a ? i replaced into staring on the day earlier as we communicate. It has some weird and wonderful container on the backside asserting '3 human beings got here across this answer sensible'. My Yahoo has been having extra technical problems recently.

    I had that same problem with my last question. Finally, a day or two later, it allowed me to pick best answer.

    So, just give it a day or so, then try again.

    What is funny is that Y/A kep sending me emails stating that I needed to choose a best answer, but then when I tried to do that, it would not let me.

    The Yamster strikes again!

    Yes, I have the same problem, but I thought it was because I was using an iPad. Sometimes it lets me choose best answer, but lots of times I rate the answer and comment and submit. Then it tells me I needed to rate, so I try rating agin...still doesn't work.

    Oh yes, yes, yes. Several of my questions went to voting, even after I chose the BA. Finally, what seems to work is my entering the comments before the stars; the stars didn't 'stick' if I did them first, which I never noticed. Also, sometimes I'd have to enter the stars gradually up to 5, instead of starting there.

    I don't so far have that problem, but can't decide because in Seniors about 95% of the answers to any question deserve BA! If it is broken today, it might be fixed tomorrow while they break something else.

    I won't try to choose until tomorrow, AM. I like to wait 24 hours before I choose. Haven't had any trouble up to this point though.

    I have the opposite problem. They insist I pick a best answer about one hour after it goes up...even when I choose the "extend" option.

  • 8 years ago

    From now on, I am going to wait 5 days.

    YES,YES.yes. It takes try after try. One actually went into community voting, cause it would never let me vote. To add insult to njury it sends a E-mail telling to choose best answer. Yeah, right !

    Yahahooo can it kiss my grits.
