Thumb-up disabled?

"Thumb-up disabled?"

Not for me with Firefox.

"I have tried to give a thumb-up to someone else after answering a question. But it doesn't work. My browser is Safari on an older Mac."

"Is this intentional or an error from Yahoo! or my browser?"

The code behind this has always been flaky. If I do not wait for all the ads to load, and the "X" to stop the page from loading to turn to the reload "swoop" icon, then all the controls painted in the page fail to work... comments, thumbs, even answers. Reload the page and it works.

It is likely to be a bad cache file on your browser, which happens a lot on Yahoo sites. Usually, refreshing the page a time or 2 will fix it. Especially if it is intermittent. If it is like that ALL the time, it may be a browser incompatibility.

That happens sometimes, you can try refreshing the page F5 key that will usually work..

When it happens with me what I found was if you cannot give a thumbs down I try giving a thumbs up and then change it to the down...For some strange reason that works when it happens to me.

If refreshing the page doesn't help clear your cache Cookies and Temporary Internet Connections, and do a reboot and see if that doesn't clear the ear and give you a greater capacity.

Trust Yahoo Answers to mess it up.
