Has Yahoo! messed up again?

I'm not receiving email notifications informing me when I get an answer to a question. I had this problem already and then it seemed to correct itself. But I've noticed that it's happening again. My settings are correct and I have ticked the box that says for me to receive email notifications.

Update:

Nothing wrong (SO FAR) with Yahoo! Mail as such. It's just that I'm not receiving email notifications from Yahoo! ANSWERS.

    That happened to my recent question too. I ignored it for ages thinking nobody had answered, then when I looked I had 15 replies. SORT IT OUT YAHOO, WE'RE PULLING OUR HAIR OUT HERE....!

    Not sure but they may be stopping that email when you have new answers since it shows on you home page when you get a new answer so an email is not necessary.

    Go to your home page and you will see when your question has a new answer and a lot more notices too. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/

    They have stopped sending the email when someone adds you as a contact even with that option checked.

    Yeah, im having all sorts of stupid things happen.

    Ive seen simular problems elsewhere, too many departments working on different s/w upgrades without debugging fully, do what i did and wrote a stern complaint letter to the pope.

    It happens to me so often I stopped paying attention to it. I go to Answers home or my activities and find my answers there.

    It could be a problem with the mail as I voted a lot and I am sure I should have had a lot of BA's as they had been in tiebreakers that had been missed, but I am certain I have had the points I have earned
