  It’s means there’s a tempoary screwup and they can’t fix it.

  There’s a glitch in the system and the techs need to repair it before people start complaining and a riot goes down to Yahoo headquarters.

  Yeah. Probably. Or maybethey just are tired and they need a little break from working all day and night. They need energy for what I am typing right now.

  There is a problem with something somewhere.

  And they are looking for it
  Once found it will be corrected.

  I got so fed up with coffee breaks that I decided it wasn’t really a coffee break. I read that use of special characters like percent sign or pound sign could cause it, so I removed those. (My answer had math in it, so it was easy to have these in it.) That didn’t work.

  So then I tried this, and it either worked, or the coffee break “just happened” to end right at that moment:

  1) I logged out.
  2) I deleted all cookies and temporary files.
  3) I logged back in.

  Maybe it will work for you. If it doesn’t, well, at least I tried. If it does, give me 10 points!
