Is everyone else experiencing this lack of new questions, and does anyone have an explanation?

    Yes everyone is experiencing this, it is a site wide problem.....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, so we will have this happening until they get around to fixing it..

    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 so we don't really know if the are aware or if they just don't care.

    Today questions go from minutes ago to 5 days ago.

    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 profile 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...

    new questions are disappearing within an hour or so of being posted

    only thing you can see is questions that are 5 or 6 days old

    i've also noticed the "discover" questions aren't changing

    it seems to have started around the time that december double points thing came out

    i'd like to imagine the reason we're getting the bug is because they're working on fixing this site as a whole, bringing back old features, the new profile so we can update names/avatars, etc but i think they've abandoned this site

    It has been going on for several days and YA doesn't seem to be doing anything about it.

    I'm about to take a sabbatical from the site as it is almost unusable currently.

    It seems to be a Yahoo glitch, and I wish they would just fix it. The questions are being asked but they disappear after a short time.

    Yahoo Answers is all glitched up, and Yahoo doesn't care to come to our rescue.
