Do you think maybe Yahoo are messing with the answer thumbs cause they're going to take them away too?

I bet they're gonna replace them with hearts or flowers.

    I recon it's because the Americans have been complaining about the disproportional amount of "thumbs down" they're getting. In their opinion it has nothing to do with the widespread ignorance over there or with the lack of humour, but it's definitely a case of discrimination! ;)

    No fair, I want tiny, dancing Garfields!! Joking apart, I am really glad you mentioned it!!! I thought I was being singled out by Yahoo when I couldn't give thumbs down. Yes I think they have a plan so we will have to watch this space to see what they do!!!

    I tried to give a few thumbs up earlier. Some worked, some said to try later.

    why do they tinker and try to f*ck things up? i just joined recently. they have the star system and no one question deserves more merit than another. people should be able to thumb up or down a question but not give it bloody stars. what is wrong with Yahoo? they slow down this site by changing it. lol

    Do you think yahoo is perfect? They struggle with choking volumes of data. Trying to enlarge, while keeping it all online & available.

    Then people like you, waste resources by asking silly questions!

    Do you know how many millions of thumbs up or down must be processed by yahoo all over the world at any given moment?

    In addition to spam!!!

    I think people should start thinking green, not only on saving earth, but on saving online computer resources. Space is scarce these days!
