Why doesn't the Answer feed show the available questions?
I often find that the Answer feed only shows days-old questions even though newer ones exist. For instance, 10 minutes ago I saw several questions in the Mathematics feed from the last few hours, but now I can only see one recent one and then it immediately skips to "3 days ago". Taking off the "No Best Answer" filter has no effect.
Oh, and "Your criteria doesn't match any questions" is also very common. I just got it now when browsing to the Science & Mathematics category. Uh, right. No questions in the entire category? That's believable...

YA is very buggy. Always has been, but moreso in the past year. You have to refresh a lot. I've had all your listed issues and more. On some occasions it just stops showing anything or saying "Your criteria doesn't match..." for hours at a time. Nothing to be done about it I'm afraid. Refresh is your only ally.
Also, you can't use '%' and other symbols in the main question line or it won't post. You have to write 'percent'. You can use % and other symbols in updates, details and answers though.

Oh I see.
That is why my so many questions are unanswered.
I thought people were ignoring my questions. I was wrong.
Hope it get well soon.
