What's going on with Y/A? I haven't been on in a while...but when I do, all the questions are hours if not days old! Where's the real time?

Check that you have selected Answer at the top of the list of questions, as that gives you the most recent questions first - and not Discover (which gives you the ones with most answers)!

The same thing is happening to me, and it's not because I've selected 'discover'. Sometimes if I refresh, then recent questions will show back up, but then if I refresh again it's like it only loads questions that a few pages down. I also sometimes get a 'your criteria is not met', or something of the sort.

Check that you have got elect Answer at the highest of the list of queries, as offers|that provides|that offers} you the foremost recent queries 1st - and not Discover (which gives you those with most answers)!

Your questions says it was asked 12 seconds ago?

Yes...but when I try to ANSWER or contribute, no matter the category....all the questions are old!
