Answers outage
Hey everyone,
As many of you will have noticed, last week we underwent some maintenance work that caused both Answers to be unavailable and some unexpected behaviour when it returned. This formed part of essential engineering work that needed to be completed and we’re happy to be able to confirm this is over.
We are aware, however, that during the time the site was unavailable we caused frustration and disappointment to many of you, our most committed and loyal Answers contributors. So we want to say sorry for the inconvenience we caused.
We have seen many of your comments about the maintenance work and we are happy to clarify that this will not affect any Top Contributor badges, Leaderboards or any other features. We would also like to assure you we only undergo this kind of work when it is truly necessary and intend to minimise any occurrences of this kind in the future.
Many thanks for your patience and understanding on this,
Yahoo!7 Answers team

Does all this maintenance work include the registration part of Yahoo? I have been trying to sign up for months – and every time an error message pops up telling me that ‘there was an error’. I must confess, I am getting quite tired of this. So it would be wonderful if all this maintenance will fix that up!

Thanks for sorting it all out. Works more smoothly now. I posted this before but it didn’t seem to take hold. If you have already seen it, my mistake. Cheers
