Is anyone else dealing with a problem with Yahoo Answers?
Whenever I submit an answer to a question, I get an error message saying that page does not exist. This has happened to me off and on for a few days. One day, I did a test answer to investigate it and the same thing happened and I thought I had went back and deleted the answer but I didn't and almost immediately received a violation (my answer wasn't a proper answer). The problem still exists and only on this site.

You probably have a bad cache file on your system. You can try this, it can help. It has worked for others. Make sure you do all four steps.
1. Log off YA, and get off Yahoo pages.
2. Clean internet cache files and cookies
3. Delete all temp files
4. Reboot your computer
Also make sure your Flash and Java Updates are current.
Do all the steps to make sure you get the offending file.

It's just the glitch-du-jour. On a site this huge, there are bound to be new glitches from time to time. This is just the newest one.
What you mention happens less often (no, not never, just less often) when you use the Preview feature instead of just hitting Submit first.

Yes, I have to hit the back button and re-submit when that happens.
