WHY does the Yahoo Answers Team...?

Question

...not sort out this irritating problem that's been going on for months? When I log in and find that my questions are running out of time, I get this message: "Some of your questions need attention!" When I click on it, I get taken to that godforsaken "OOPS!" page. I assume this hapens to everyone else too? LOL.

WHY DON'T YOU SORT IT OUT, YAHOO? nOT BL00DY DIFFICULT, IS IT?

Thank you. Anyone with me?

LMJ - I explained exactly what I was talking about my friend, its not difficult to decipher.

How bizarre that some people get this and others don't have the problem at all. Maybe it's only the UK server (I'm coming in via the UK board)? Very odd indeed.

Thanks wildamberetc for explaining the problem, I am just so peed off with it now

Which prannet is thumbing down all the sensible answers?!

Some very funny comments so far folks, lol

Answer 1

YES! I know exactly what you're on about - it happens to me all the time, too, and has done for several weeks. Rant away, friend, I'm with you!

For those who don't know what Vicci is banging on about: if you don't pick a Best Answer by the day before your question is due to expire, you see a link flash upnext to your username when you log in, stating that some of your questions need attention. Vicci is complaining that when she clicks on this link, she goes through to the Yahoo 404 page, which says something like 'Oops! This page does not exist'. It's been going on for a long time with the UK Answers site. I understand V's rant here, as it is really rather irritating when you see the same nonsensical message for the 99th time. Hope that clears up any confusion.

Answer 2

I never even get a message saying some of my questions need attention, never mind an "Oops" page. I feel a bit let down now, I at least want an Oops page. I mean you get one, why can't I have one. Think I'll contact Yahoo and tell them I think we should all have an Oops page. That'll solve your problem as well, because then you will like the rest of us

Edit:- Sorry had to add this even though you prob won't read it now. Just read your comment re wildamberetc, and read her answer. Only thing wildamber didn't do is tell you how to solve it. Very simple, just don't click on the bl..dy link that says you have a question that needs attention, just ignore it. Then you won't go to the Oops page. So simple, what's all the fuss about?

Answer 4

You want efficiency from YAT? They've legged it and have left us to drown in this putrid rathole.

Answer 5

I usually get a 'heads up, you may want to extend your question' or something like that, when i click on it, it takes me to the question! Sorry!

Answer 6

I have never had that happen to me, but I do not ask many questions. BUT today I did ask a question, it was"happy birthday to me, What did all of my p&s friends bring for me...." AND theese YAHOO people deleted it and took 10 points....I think they need to figure that out:)

Answer 7

I've only seen that page with a deleted account I was looking for..... sorry... but yahoo might just overload itself when we can't remove answered questions......

Answer 8

Vicci refers to the following page:

Oops

We are sorry, the URL you have entered cannot be displayed probably because:

* The system is busy now. Please click on "Reload" button or try later.
* The URL you entered is incorrect. Please check the URL you have entered.
* This URL does not exist any longer. Please click on other URLs.

Thanks for using Yahoo! Answers

Answer 9

That's not the only problem they need to straighten out.

Answer 10
