Yahoo Answers is shutting down on 4 May 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Why aren't recent question appearing in philosophy rather than questions submitted days ago.?

Update:

Thank you for your thoughts and answerers. it would seem borderline absurd a website of this size permits the glitches to remain, a sign of the times i think.

Seasons greetings and warm wishes.

    Right now there is something very much wrong with many questions not showing even refreshing the page. Started Thursday night and has gotten worse..

    It may be yahoo was working behind the scenes and caused a new glitch, it was the weekend and that is when they usually happen, so we might have this happening until they get around to fixing it..

    Once you get past the get 'Your criteria doesn't match any questions' notice Questions are jumping from hours ago to 2 .. 3 or 4 days ago so many are not being seen at all..

    There are hours of questions missing. Refreshing does not fix it.

    There is a Bug Report on the forum, so we shall see if they see it and fix whatever is wrong at their own pace, nothing else we can do. https://yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/211240-us-answe...

    The Yahoo tech team fixes things in their own unique way and time.

    There are no signs they are working on fixing things and no comment on the forum from them.

    Today questions go from 2 hours ago to 5 days ago.

    A very bad bug or glitch.All categories.All of the newly posted questions are vanishing off of the boards at 4 hourly intervals.11.30,3.30 and 7.30 UK time approx.am and pm.Your question will disappear off of the boards in about 25 minutes from now if it isn't fixed .You will still see it on your profile but it wont be visible on the question board.Yahoo have issued no explanation for this as yet and don't care to do so.It's been happening for 5 days.

    Due to very little to answer i've been watching closely and this is what's happening.

    I just came here to complain about the same thing in Languages.

    I saw one message 5 mins old, another 14 mins old, and then the next one was 5 days old.

    Also when I click any subject area at all, i often get "there are no questions here" and have to click several times.

    We certainly have the same thing in the 'Dog' section.
