Why do my Yahoo! Answers emails come from Yahoo! Answers India?
For some reason, all of my Y!Answers emails come from Yahoo! India. When I click on them, I get taken to http://in.answers.yahoo.com/whatever.
My Yahoo! profile says I'm in the United States, and that my preferred content is Yahoo! US.
My cache is not an issue, I clear it daily.
My cookies are not an issue, I clear them daily.
I created my yahoo! account in the US.
I created my Yahoo! Answers account in the US.
All of my Yahoo! Information puts me in the US. Why do these emails for everything keep coming from yahoo! answers india?!
And yes, I know the clicking the flag thing. It takes me to Y! Answers US, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm getting emails from Y!Answers India which route me to the Y!Answers india version of the site.

Note the difference between these two sites ... check your header ...
In the lower right panel ... CLICK "Show USA Answers".
In the bottom panel ... CLICK the USA flag.
ADDED: OK, glad you got the flag icon working -- I didn't think your problem was that easy. Additional details are needed on your question. Emails *from* India look like this ... sally@yahoo.co.in
Where are you clicking on an email that takes you to the Y!A website of ... in.answers.yahoo.com ... when I click on an email I stay within my email system. See the previous answer below ... hope we are getting closer.

I am really sorry for answering your question in this manor since I have no clue as to why this is happening to you. The question simply struck me as so very typical of the way things are done in our country, and I felt compelled to respond. One of the many thing that continue to baffle me completely for most of my adult years has been,, why, when I snail mail a letter from Wichita Falls,Texas to Dallas,Texas does it get routed through Denver, Colorado first. it is just one of those thing that we fail to understand where the logical connection is.

UPDATE: Post a message to the forum at http://suggestions.yahoo.com/?prop=answers so that Y/A staff can look at this bug (if it is one). You may want to search there to see if a solution has already been presented or the issue already discussed though.

You might have first signed up/signed in/answered a question/asked a question on the india portal of y! or y! answers. I wouldn't worry about it.
