why do a get old questions on yahoo answers?

It's an ANNOYING glitch and frankly unless something can be done about this, I'm off. There's no point keeping on coming here only to find one or two 'new' questions.

If the people who are running Yahoo can't be bothered to sort this out, why don't they just shut the place down and have done with it. I believe it's being sold but we, the contributors are being SOLD SHORT.

This is the same glitch we had during the Christmas season last year. Every 8 hours the questions will disappear. They will still be on your profile page but you cannot see them in the category. This went on for 3 weeks during double points and really got people mad. Yahoo said nothing but finally after three weeks they fix it. It wasn’t a very pleasant experience.

Are you searching for something specific? That could be why. Also you could have recommendations based on your answering history and those types of questions haven't been asked recently.
