Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Why does Yahoo have so many problems that we can't submit our Answers to questions? Maybe they] need to hire new help.?

    Yahoo has been glitching badly since Thursday.... Started then and then seemed OK but started acting up again just in time for the weekend when things do not get fixed.. Those Yahoo Tech people might be mucking about behind the scenes as this usually happens when they are either trying to fix something..add or take something away.

    Once again all we can do is wait and see how long before it is fixed.

    It is better today than yesterday but still not working as it usually does and some glitches still happen.

    Most often the Your criteria doesn't match any questions message comes up..

    The submit button is showing 'We are experiencing some problems, please try again' more often but the answer is posting after hitting Submit a few times..

    Trying to see our profiles gets the 'Oops, something went wrong' message again it takes refreshing the page a few times. Sometimes it bounces to the Yahoo Home page saying..'Hmmm... the page you're looking for isn't here. Try searching above.'

    Notifications page is totally blank despite 5 tries refreshing.

    It shows this message on the right too... 'Sorry, you've reached your daily asking limit. Earn more points or come back tomorrow to ask more.'

    There is a Thread on the Suggestion Board but no response from Staff so it is possible they may not even know. https://yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/211240-us-answe...

    I suspect the answer is they truly dont care

    strikes me that every innovation over the last year or so has made the site more glitchy and less user friendly

    its either outright incompetence or a psychological experiment to see how much torment a user community will take before they all leave
