Something wrong with Answers?

I look through the list of questions available to answer and the time stamp "jumps" from 45 minutes ago to 5 days ago!

    Right now there is something very much wrong with many questions not showing even refreshing the page. Started days ago and has gotten worse..

    It may be yahoo was working behind the scenes and caused a new glitch, it was the weekend and that is when they usually happen, so we might have this happening until they get around to fixing it..

    Once you get past the get 'Your criteria doesn't match any questions' notice Questions are jumping from hours ago to 2 .. 3 or 4 days ago so many are not being seen at all..

    There are hours of questions missing. Refreshing does not fix it, they just disappear off the list.

    Yours can be seen now but in an while will be gone but still show on your list.

    There is a Bug Report on the forum, so we shall see if they see it and fix whatever is wrong, nothing else we can do. https://yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/211240-us-answe...

    The Yahoo tech team fixes things in their own unique way and time.

    There are no signs they are working on fixing things and no comment on the forum from them.

    Today questions go from minutes ago to 5 days ago.

    There is bad bug,glitch or maybe deliberate.

    Most categories.All of the newly posted questions are vanishing off of the boards at 4 hour intervals.11.30,3.30 and 7.30 UK time approx.am and pm.You will still see it on your profile but it won't be visible on the question board.Y/A have issued no explanation for this as yet and don't seem to care to do so.It's been happening for 5 days.

    Your question will go into orbit(vanish from the board)in roughly 2 hours and 40 minutes time from now,if it isn't fixed by then(3.30am.UK time).So make the most of any answers you receive in that time.

    Source(s): Observation for 5 days.

    Glitch that will likely be fixed very soon unless Yahoo! is wanting to shut this damn place down for good.

    That is Yahoo's latest problem, not sure if they are working on it or not.
