Today on YA, I can't do thumbs up/down, cant edit, cant submit answers, and can't select a best answer.?
What's going on here? People have made various suggestions, but there's clearly some major glitch going on. I cant choose someone's answer as a best answer. Although I never/ very rarely do thumbs down (only the Indian prostitution service gets that), I often give thumbs up to answers I like, but today I can't click on the icons. I can't edit my own question to correct a typo. And I can't submit an answer, because there's no submit button any more.
I really don't get this.

There are three reported problems:
1. It is just a glitch.
2. Popup blockers are the culprit. Turn yours off (you may have several) to see if you can see the comments. You may need to list yahoo as a clean website.
3. You may have a bad cache file on your system. You can try this, it can help. It has worked for others. You should do it regularly anyway. 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.
