Y!A is full of glitches today
1) Screens coming up saying the question/profile has been suspended and if you refresh it hasn't
2) Incorrect quota's for question/answer allowances
3) etc
The latest one I got was
"Sorry, something has gone wrong (500).
We couldn't give you the page you requested just now. Please try again."
500 is a server error meaning that the site as a whole has a problem with one of more servers. It's always had these problems over the years and they usually clear in a couple of days.
EDIT
I've had the same issue when I came to answering another question http://imgur.com/T4Xjtcy but waiting for 5 mins, refreshing and now it works so keep trying is probably the best advice at this time.

I'm a Level 7 too and I was getting that response after answering only three questions today. Anyway, I turned off my computer and later when I came back I found I could answer questions again. It's just another in a long line of glitches, I suppose.
Another one today is that when I try to look at a question I've previously answered, I've been getting a message that the question is under review. It takes two or three tries to open up some questions because of that.

I think there is a problem with the system. When it says you can't answer, just refresh the browser page and it usually fixes the problem. I have been having the same issue and I am also a level 7.

Why are you surprised? Answers is full of bugs and glitches. This is one of them. This isn't the first time and won't be the last time.
