Why does Yahoo Answers drop me after each answer I give?

I was offline while moving, and when I got back on, every time I answer a question, I get dropped, and have to go back and sign in all over again. This never happened before, why is it now?

    Yahoo Answers is experiencing a glitch right now that gives you a blank screen when you submit an answer - is this what you're referring to? If so, simply click the back button on your browser to take you back to the answer interface and then click submit again. It will post the answer the second time.

    If you are being signed out after submitting an answer, it is possible that this is being caused by a bad cache file on your browser; clear that and try again. This link has instructions, step-by-step, for several different browsers: http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?page=content&y=PROD...

    It is also possible that your browser automatically clears cookies when you close out of the internet. This would cancel out your command to stay signed in.

    Check this help link to see if that is what's going on; this link will also help you ENABLE cookies on Yahoo, and not have your browser clear them each time you leave: http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?locale=en_US&y=PROD...
