Yahoo Answers is shutting down on 4 May 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.
Why does Y! Answers ask me if I want to leave - data you have entered may not be saved every single page? It's getting really annoying.?

I think that the programmers must have stolen the code that causes Facebook to do the same thing occasionally.
Yahoo doesn't care about this site enough to fix most of their glitches.

Probably another glitch, which would be just one of many... and they'll probably take months to fix it like all the other glitches.

Are you sure that it's Y!A and not your browser?

It is just Yahoo's way of torturing us.

Shortest time for me was 5 and half months. Usually is is a little over 9 months., On this email account, it was 9 months an 10 days. Then 9 months, and 4 days to reach 50,000 points.
I am retired. How I spend my time is my choice.

This was a glitch experienced yesterday, but today everything is working right again here.

Just ignore it. The site is going through changes and there are kinks to be ironed out. Just make sure that you hit submit. If all is good then just tick out.
If I'm leaving something lengthy and it's important to you to answer, tick highlight and copy just in case it gets erased (though I have not had that happen to me) and then paste the answer in.
