How can i fix error 999?

  • Answer:

    It is Yahoo's generic warning to stop what you are doing. It was originally set up as a spam-fighter. Spammers try to flood Yahoo with their junk. They try to do it as fast as possible. When you are using Y!A and you do anything too fast, you might get an Error 999. If you vote for 50 questions in 5 minutes; if you report 50 spam answers in 5 minutes.... You always have to wait after getting a 999. Sometimes 1 hour. Sometimes 1 day. When you get the 999, don't bother to click on the link in the message. You get an auto-reply saying you caused the problem. You didn't. Sometimes it appears when you did not do anything "fast". That means that it is a problem with Yahoo's server. When that is the case, it usually clears up faster. Try answering 5 questions, then vote 5 times, then rate 5 times.
