When I first click onto 'Yahoo Answers' I get a page that is 2 months old, every time.And even when I go elsewhere eg. My Q&A and come back to 'Yahoo Answers' I get the same page. I have tried 'refresh' but it does not change. When I click on 'View by: date' I get an up to date page but it takes about 5 minutes to show up. What can I do?

Clear your cache. If you go to your Internet properties (Right Click once on the E on the desktop Icons) and there you can delete cookies, delete offline and online pages. So pretty much, a computer will save or remember the webpages that you go into so they will load faster, but if these pages are constantly changing then your PC will only show you the last saved one...so in order to prevent that.. delete the saved offline pages and play with the settings so the WEB will be in realtime. If you want a step by syep guide, one is available in the HELP menu in every Windows Operating system :) No Virus or Adware or stuff should be considered for this...it is just your PC trying to show you the web that you most often visit faster. For the REAL answer in solving this problem (this goes for ALL that want to avoid this problem and the PC will do it automatically) Right click on the E (internet) and select "properties. Once in the Internet Properties, select the 7th tab on top (advanced)..Scroll to the bottom that reads "SECURITY" with a Yellow Lock....There, make sure you selct the 8th box that lets the PC delete Temporay files after a webpage is closed...this way you do not have to do it manually and it helps your PC memory by not saving so much junk :)

I get a 2 month old page but as soon as I click on the big green answer tab above I get the new listings immediately. I have cable internet service so it's pretty fast. I don't know how to get rid of the old screen popping up at first. I'll keep you posted if I find out.

You're being hijacked.
That's something very bad.
Run your Anti-Virus and get rid of it.
Was there a link on that page that you went to? Never click on links in the questions by enquirers, because they are mostly hackers looking for the sucker who's born every day.
All the best.
Cheers.
PS,
God, two of you!?
Guess some hackers having fun!

Clean the cache, temp folders, and history by:
Tools>Internet Options>Delete Cookies>Delete Files>Clear History
That should do it. When you're almost done on your comp, do it again then defrag. That should speed things up a little.
Good luck!

Try clearing out your cookies, your temporary internet files, and your cache for your browser. This is usually under the "options" thing your browser has. If this doesn't clear up the problem, you might want to look into using a different browser or reinstalling the one you have.
