What are you fixing?
Well we want to be on here at the time!is there any way!?i can’t wait for 4 hours!this is not going into my plan for that day!:0(
How about updating the Leaderboards while You’re at it. Especially the Rock And Pop Section.
Thanks
How come I’m not informed by email when I get answers to my questions anymore?
have fun
Now what are you people doing??? Making this site less fun??? In the beginning it was tons of fun and now its gone down hill.
What are they doing now? Getting rid of the Elections section because all its doing it turning into a 10 post your bash forum.
Thank you for all that you do!
Oh-kay.
Oh cool, but yeah, what r u guys updating? thanks!
I hope to survive!! If not, I’ll haunt these pages for all eternity!
Update the Top Answerers in each category! COME ON!
I hope this means that the leaderboards will finally be updated!
I wish you guys the best and hope you get all of the bugs fixed, not like the last update since all we have had is problems since that one.
i want to know what your updating,….
off topic….when you get an app update from the app store they tell you what is in the update!
Everything is perfect
Oh, that’s wonderful. I hope it turns out well; surprises are always fun.
Are you fixing those virus links everyones posting
oh yeah and thanks for fixing whatever ur gonna fix!
i hope you do something about the spam bots
also update the leaderboards
making it easier for trolls and bored teenagers to abuse us? sounds great. thanks for keeping us in mind
Hopefully they’ll fix some major problems with the site.
So what are you updating?
I bet it’s just another coffee break.
I think we should send Yahoo violation notices for every coffee break & breather taken. It’s against our rules.
I am now concerned about my Level 7. I’ve been working toward getting it on my first anniversary with Y/A on 18 November. Are these two down days going to effect me reaching my goal on the 18th?
I know that I can say “no fair” until the cows come home and nobody cares. But this is a goal I set for myself nearly a year ago and I hate to see it go down the drain.
umm, sure, why not.
How are u going to screw up the site this time??
what are you fixing? can we know?
i think that every add request should have to be approved by the user. it is not right that even though i have my account on private that when i am asleep someone can add me and raid my q & a. it is a major weakness that aides the trolls big time.
Ok thanks guys. I hope you get it fixed soon. I wish you all the best of luck
hope this turns out well and i get to stay!!! =]
I just hope you fix the bug that always redirects me to the “We’re taking a breather” page whenever I answer a question.
please add a writing section
Yeah, what is being fixed here? Also, I’d like to suggest different colors, for Y!A Q&A profiles.
Guess everyone else wants to know, too.
What are u guys fixing?
Now what am I going to do?? That’s the time I go on Y. Answers! Please don’t…..
Please read every question b4 deleting…People report because they don’t like you. Crazy
IJR hopes you guys are updating and fixing the Community Moderation system. You know it’s really not working the way it is now, right?
I’m not going to sit here and complain that you are updating, or give you demands as to what to update.
I will say thank you, for making these essential updates late at night while we are supposed to be getting sleep that is important to our health, instead of during the day. Thank you.
What are you guys working on? Please don’t change the design or the font because that would suck.
Hoping for the best with whatever you’re fixing or changing.
You all will find out tomorrow. And the day after that.
Hopefully Y!A agrees with Amendment 1 that if they make the site worse we can go on speech-strike LOL.
my yahoo 360 picture won’t show up in answers,when i select it,i did everything right,but the picture I choose won’t show up in answers.????
aww darn it!!
have fun fixing!
I hope you fix the “feature” that changes the end of every topic to a question? As you can tell, it makes some statements look like nonsense?
I certainly hope you also update the people that deal with giving violations and looking at appeals! I don’t always agree with the violations that are given and approved…especially when you just say HUH? and you get a violation and appeal denied. Do not understand that at all….
Some of these violations are really ridiculous!
how about during the day?
like 9:00 a.m to 1:00 p.m
so when we come home from work and school we can get on?!
I agree with the contact approval idea. I just hope you guys get this disappearing question bug worked out. I’m tired of losing points asking questions nobody can see.
im glad i only do this at night!! get it yahoo!
Thanks for working while we sleep. I have enjoyed this site for 2 yrs. now. I feel I am being helpful & recieving help as well. I almost gave up this site awhile back as it seems I could not do anything with out getting a violation notice. I had to change my name & move from a catagory I liked to get away from the person or persons violating me. Fix up that.
I’m sure you would like to please everyone. That’s not going to happen. I appreciate your working to make things even better or a little different. Thanks.
can you guys split the wrestling section into 3 sections? the wwe section,the tna section,and others because the fight over the brands is becoming annoying.
Maybe they will NOT SUSPEND PEOPLE after deleting then UNdeleting a question. I remain suspended after they apologized and re-posted my question.
I dare Yahoo Answers to become fair to its users.
what are you guys doing? last time you decided to update something i never got emails about my contacts questions for 2 months! what plans did you think i had for the summer?
OK… hopefully after this maintenance project, there will be a lot less coffee breaks and such.
Thanks for all you do, and thanks for making the Internet a better place to be.
I hope all goes well.
can we still login to japan eleven hours ahead of world time zone, and not missing a thing local time, translated its 12:30 a.m. pacific standard time here as it is 11:30 a.m. tomorrow there already,
you guys should make it so when you search for question that you should show them in sections like open/in voting questions then answered questions!!
Please either clean up the Elections section from all those assasnation and racist questions or delete it.
Deleting it would be a better idea.
hopefully there will be less “coffee breaks”
yaynessbag!!! have fun:) umm… what are you doing to the site???
Thanks guys for all that you do here!
We all realize it will take a number of hours to remove the word “Google” in every answer posted here.
To the guy who is moaning about he cant wait for 4 hours.. I almost want to puke.. if your life is that boring something is wrong dear. You seriously should get over it. YA is suppose to be a hobby not a job. Some ppl have to be on here at least 16 hours a day.. gross.
I hope they do a new style background to Yahoo Answers!
something new would be really good or make it better.
hey my fellow YA people
does anybody know when this will be backup and running? i thought i was just completely banned from site…whewwwww….happy again lol
Kyool! It’s about time! ^_^
I wonder what you are fixing…
Maybe shorten those coffee breaks, please. We don’t want Answers to be addicted to caffiene!
Answers is a great place to be to pass the time, and I’m glad that you’re improving it.
Oh, and thanks for doing it at a probalby lower traffic time (or at least while I sleep! you chose the right time for ME!). I looked at it and said, “oh no” but then saw the AM.
Good for you for posting alternatives, though.
Why are you guys doing this? i hope this only takes 2 hours. Oh well, i will proably checking my mail
Oh, and could you change the Moderation a little. I was a little fuzzy on what some rules were, and reluctant to make certain actions (*cough* reporting *cough* *cough*).
Latley I had a little problem. I asked a question, and the firrst suggested catagory (which did NOT make sense to the question: I have this dillemma in my chorus, any advice?) was “Swimming and Diving”. I passed right over it, and clicked on “Preforming Arts”. Now, when I got an answer, I looked and saw it said In “Swimming and Diving”. I have NO IDEA how that happened! Please, check that out.
Update the top 10 answers! PLEASE
*answerers
Will this affect answers time , for picking your own best answer? Or voting time, or from the time it was posted, causing it to Not have the normal time allotted to have it answered?
I do not know what Url is ! So don’t add that if it is going to make me look stupid!
Please update the Top Ten Answerers.
Please have 10 (not 9) in the Top Ten Answerers in the “Diet and Fitness” category.
Please do whatever you can about people answering a question and saying, “now you answer mine,” and leaving a link. And, of course, the spam links. (Especially when they have nothing to do with the question!!)
I love this website. It’s a Godsend to handicapped, disabled, and sick people. I am a member of that group. Thank you. Sincerely, Lynn AKA LadyLynn
Is it possible for you to have the spelling on all of the portions where we are writing something? In one place you have the spelling correction in the space where the question is and nothing for the comments.
i think they are actually changing the colors or yahoo answers because i asked the staff in one of their questions and got lots of thumbs ups.
Can you put your spelling corrections in more of the places that we have the opportunity to type something?
I am just like everyone else, What Are You Guys Fixing?
Anyway, GOOD LUCK
We can view our answers and questions. But we cannot view it by category.Can you provide this facility for viewing as a whole and as a category?
Huh! even you guys have to ix and update anything? Wow! hope no security is compromised.
Cheers and best of luck!
hmm hope it sgood what yawl are updating
Atlast!
what are you fixing? we all want to knoOW thanks
If the leader boards get updated i’ll be the new consumer electronics leader (yay!) so please make sure to fix that!!!
-Bakhtiar
Ok well can you fix the problem of taking away my points for ANSWERING questions? Why do you violate me!!! LoL
OMG: Is the government really taking over yahoo answers? <———————————————————————————————————————–elections!
( LOL!! )
I hope that you guys are actually fixing the problems rather than making it worse, like the previous “updates” on the user interface. The misspelling notification bubble was the worst idea ever conceived.
Get your act together, please.
What? No Yahoo Answers for a few hours? But how will all those girls know if they are pregnant or not, even if they are listing all the symptoms???? What will we do? LOL.
I have a message in phone says infected commwarrior how do fix it? Pls help me.
Where did Yahoo go? I get an error message when I try to go to Yahoo.com or Yahoo.ca. What happened? I can’t get into my mail account either.
When will it be back on?
