strange new behavior posting an answer?
Starting a few days ago I've experienced a problem with Y/A where if I post an answer, the browser screen just goes blank. If I hit reload a warning from browser comes up about resending the form, if I do that twice then the answer appears under the question (like normal). i've had this behavior with Firefox on Windows 7 and with Safari on OSX 10.8.4.
Am I the only one?

It's just the glitch-du-jour. On a site this huge, there are bound to be new glitches from time to time. This is just the newest one. Fortunately, it's just annoying and is easy enough to work around.
To get around it, go back one page (use the arrow.) Then, click Submit again. Works every time for me.

I have heard there are 2 different solutions and one or the other works for different people.
Either Double back click and your answer will be there, or back click once and then hit re-post.
You will just have to work out which will work for you.
Hopefully Yahoo will get it sorted out for the new week Monday

You are not the only one. It is another annoying glitch that has been going on for days.
There are complaints about in on the suggestion board but no staff reply.

When that happens you can just page back and submit again and it will likely go through...that has worked for me.
