Yea, same thing. This is driving me crazy. There are a bunch of Chinese and Indian questions. I don't understand these questions! Someone must have hacked the system or something.

I am having the same issue. I have checked to see if the people posting these questions are long time users, or if there accounts have been created recently. Nearly every question I receive on the yahoo answers home that is in chines/indian was posted by a user who had created the account the very same day. Not only this, but when translated from the native language to english, all text is incoherent gibberish. This one for example: "Where Golden Eagle Dad has organized phone numbers lottery event?" There are dozens of lines of text that make no sense at all. These are red flags to me, and if I were you I would refrain from clicking on the links to those questions. It seems to me just as picaroon said that the system might have been hacked, but what really doesnt make sense is that yahoo is probably blocked in china. So if the questions are being posted by VPN, not only is it a violation of Chinese government, but it is a big issue for anyone coming into contact with them.
