How can I get Saved Searches working again?
For about two weeks none of my Saved Searches were bringing up any new questions, compared with usually 10-20 new questions each day. I deleted cookies, logged out, logged in, same issue. Tried Firefox, Safari, same issue. Tried another computer, same.
I edited each of the three searches to increase the "Date Submitted" from 7 days to 30 days, but no new questions appeared.
Then I deleted those three saved searches, hoping to recreate them fresh, but after I choose all the details exactly as they had been before for a search, the page does not respond when I click "Save". I tried another computer, no response to "Save".
I unplugged my modem, waited one minute, plugged in again, same issue. I connect by ethernet, do not use a Wi-Fi router, so that's the extent of my network gadgets. Am I doomed to never again have any Saved Searches or do I need to wait a few more weeks for some IT guy at Yahoo to fix this?
How do you know it is a problem at Yahoo Answers? Are other complaining? Are you having this issue?

You can't. Along with the list glitches being seen, the Saved Searches are impacted. You just have to wait. You will not know when or if it is fixed until you just see that it is working.
