Are you still seeing the reload loops now?

I am at least. Just tried again, it's 1) white page, 2) blue Q&A header with no login/register and no questions but with that gray connecting box in the corner, 3) gray box goes away 4) login/register appears below on blue header 5) header changes to black, 6) questions load, 1) back to white page. It's going very fast, so it's hard to read the black header, but its tabs are on a different format than the blue one here and on the home page.

Hitting stop doesn't work for me (on chrome android), but I get that this may just be a mobile disadvantage.

I know this is slightly off topic, but is it a download or is it a webservice?

We listened to your feedback and built a new page just for you. Hopefully this helps you find the answers you were looking for.

https://frc-qa.firstinspires.org/qa/answered

Thanks! Much better.

Can you add an option to sort the questions in numerical order as well as in the order they were answered?

I'm really impressed by how quick the changes to the Q&A system were implemented. When's the last time a problem went from complaints on CD to a solution in just a day or two?

Agreed. Not having to click on individual questions to see their answers anymore is awesome.

However, I don't seem to be able to sort through the answers anymore. When I click the "More" button on the bottom of this page under "New Answers", I just get a "Not Found" error. Previously I was able to sort through answers there. There is this page that just provides answers sorted by newest first, but you can't change the sorting.

Seconded. The new page fixes the problem almost entirely. Cudos!

And it appears to be stable now. Thank you to whoever at HQ got rid of that "black header" reload loop; this is very nice now.

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused.
OK, all you people complementing the improvements have apparently jinxed the system and caused it to crash. No good deed goes unpunished.

This q&a system is getting to be ridiculous. Some of the questions asked are critical to robot design for teams. FIRST should be capable of handling the FRC question capacity by this time in its life.

It's clearly Einstein 2012 all over again! ;)

In all seriousness though, this type of stuff seems to be happening more and more. It doesn't look good for FIRST, it doesn't help teams (esp. in such a theoretically difficult game). Good luck Q&A Team and all other FIRST employees, you seem to need it.
