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

    It may be yahoo was working behind the scenes and caused a new glitch, so we might 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 s we can't be sure they are even aware of what is happening.

    Today questions go from minutes ago to 6 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 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...

    Yahoo Answers has been very slow since Double Points started. There may be a lot of web traffic slowing it down right now. Those glitches will probably go away when the double points period is over.

    This bug and others has been with us on Answers for over a week. Yahoo do know but have shown no response at all. There is a thread on the suggestion Board about this.

    If that is true, you must have posted this question a week ago, or you won't see this answer for another week.
