Submitting answers to questions on YA!?

Am I the only person who has issues trying to answer questions on Yahoo Answers? Since the platform/software had changed a few months ago, I find it very difficult to submit a post to any question.

I type my answer, click submit and after several minutes and incessant clicking, I am hold my breathe and pray that the post submits. Sometimes it can take up to 2+ minutes!!

I post on several computer help boards across the WWW and this is the only site that I have trouble with submitting posts, and this only started back when the software changed.

Update:

Hi Yahzmin,

Thank you for your response. I had tried all the suggestions that you noted in your answer to no avail which led me to posting this question. I even verified that it is not my ISP that could be at fault. Still same problem. I'll continue as is and see if anything changes for the better.

Again, thank you. :)

    Others do have the iissue once in a while. Refreshing the page normally helps. Copy your answer first, refresh, paste and resubmit. If it happens a lot, sign out, clear cache, cookies and temporary files, restart the device and see if that helps.
