Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Why did Yahoo get rid of showing the level under your name?

I am sure someone has probably asked this a dozen times, but I have been away and missed it. What was the reasoning? I never saw a notice about this.

Update:

I mean when you answer a question. Sorry.

Update 2:

Thanks guys, Yahoo is so goofy you never know what is going on with them lol.

    Hmm, I didnt even notice. Maybe because there was a lot of making fun of the Level 6 peeps. By the way Im LEVEL 2. Im going to mention that in every reply from now on then.

    I wonder if theyll get rid of levels completely then? Hmm. Dont do it Yahoo! Its my only reason to keep answering.

    these changes have just happened.. Maybe it is because you get a fairer choice of getting 10 points..I mean if you had two great similar anwers and one person was on 6 and the other was on 1, you would give it the the level 1 because the level 6 was already doing pretty good...

    i think you can still see the level if you click the little box around the avatar 2 find out :)

  • Perhaps to level out the playing field, as far as awarding best answers etc.

    They didn't. THey still show what level you are. Don't always trust that stuff. Some great advisors are only level two because they have other things to do.
