Are Yahoo Answers Notifications broken again?

All I get for several days is "Oops... Something went wrong", followed by a list of really dumb "trending" questions.

Update:

Thanks to all who answered.  I had to pick just one fave, though.

Update 2:

Honorable mention to ED-38209!  Your answer came in after I chose a best answer, but that workaround really works!  Thanks a ton!!!

    For some users, it has been that way for over a year. So anything you get is gravy.

    Maybe the error is caused by some notifications content (special characters in username, question, or something else).

    I noticed my wife's account was not affected as mine at the same moment (she's not very active on YA and receive very few new notifications).

    When the error occurs, try to upvote for one of your previous answers, it makes notifications working again.

    I don’t know about notifications but for some reason there are no comments anymore. 

    You answered my recent question and it wouldn’t let me reply to explain what was wrong with the question. Because if that I made the question again with the modification. If you could help that would be appreciated.
