Where have the most recent questions gone?
Seems like only 1 or 2 of the most recent questions remain posted in some sections (like Astronomy & Space), while all other questions less than 3 days old just disappear. I can find the missing ones that I've answered through the "my answers" list in my profile, but the others are nowhere to be found.
Unless there is some kind of super-secret settings link I'm unaware of, it's not an issue with my settings.
I'm on the "Answer" list, not the "Discover" list.
The questions aren't disappearing because a best answer was selected.
The questions aren't disappearing because they're being reported as violations (unless someone has literally spent the last 3 days straight doing this 24/7 as every question pops up), and...
I have all of the right selections made in every "customize feed" & settings link I can find on the entire site.
Still nothing. Everything was fine until 2 or 3 days ago...

They are not violations or anything alike.
There is a huge glitch or bug across all categories.Like i stated on the comments earlier.All new questions are vanishing off of the boards at four hour intervals since last Thursday.UK times 11.30,3.30,7.30 approx. am and pm.Same for the US at the corresponding times. There hasn't been any explanation as to why from Yahoo or when it will be fixed.So it's pure guesswork from here.Keep an eye on the categories.All the boards will show four day old questions at or just after these times until fixed,if ever.I've been observing closely(due to boredom).Everyone is experiencing it.
Considering the time taken to rectify it,this is a very serious problem it seems.

There is for sure something wrong with many questions not showing even refreshing the page.
Started Thursday night and has gotten worse..
It may be yahoo is working behind the scenes and causing a new glitch, it is the weekend and that is when they usually start, BUT as it is the weekend so we might have this happening until Monday at the earliest.
Once you get past the get Your criteria doesn't match any questions notice Questions are jumping from hours ago to 2 or 3 days ago so many are not being seen at all..
Your question is showing on the sub category list now but will be gone later.
There are hours of questions missing. Refreshing does not fix it.
Someone posted a Bug Report on the forum, so we shall see if it gets noticed,

The questions have just been ghosted and it's one of the recent bugs affecting the site.
