Is anyone else having issues replying to a message from another Yahoo user?
In the last couple months I have seen a number of changes to Yahoo Answers. Most are improvements but not all of them.
My biggest issue is that I can no longer reply when someone asks me a question. I am a top contributor and sometimes someone sends me a message to get additional information and I always rely to these. Except one guy is is obviously asking me to do him homework.
For example, I got a question from a user named Martin. When I click on the link Reply to This Message what I see is they users "My Activity" page and for the life of me I cannot find anything on that page to send the user a reply to their message.
It used to be a form would come up with a window for me to type in a reply but now that is no longer there.
Does anyone know if this is a screwup at Yahoo's end or am I missing something?
I do not think I am blocked as I have always been courteous to all I send replies too. I doubt I would have over 241,000 points otherwise.
If anyone from Yahoo reads this, please send me a message.

For some reason now someone can send emails without allowing them and that will not allow you to reply.
That is when you get bounced to the profile page and on there you do not see the Email option.
It could be that someone sent the email and then shut the option off on theirs.
Not sure why this is happening and if it was an intentional or if it is another glitch.
Been happening for a few weeks now.

If you have problems following all this good advice your not the only one, I think some of it may be to do with the type of device your using, particularly with Android software. I know my email is enabled and I receive fine, but send? No! In my case Im not on the Yahoo server which rejects my messages. The other way, my server isnt so fussy. Im trying to transfer directly to the Yahoo server to work around the problem before YA close the link down completely. Easy? You might think so, until you try!

I'm still having issues with this exact thing and I'm getting so angry because I really need to respond to this message of mine.
