Is there a glitch with QA in that lots of American questions are now being posted on the UK site?

It used to be that you had to select the UK flag at the bottom of the screen and then select UK only, to post a question on this side of the pond, now it seems that just by selecting ' All english questions' they are swamping the Uk site with unrelated questions.

We don't give a hoot about what you think of your president, etc.

p.s. If the Americans don't want to see this question they can select American only and not All English.

    Yes there is a problem & Yahoo said should be sorted by Monday as someone asked a question on the forum as I was going to ask myself..am sick of going through the pages & pages of q's just to find the people I know...if I Hear about JUstin bloody Bieber or whatever his name is again it will be too soon or the am I pretty bla bla bla...it makes no difference at moment if press uk & Ireland as we are getting pages & pages of American q's.. let's hope they sort it soon.. :)

    This can be particularly irritating in the case of sections where the country of the asker is of vital importance -- such as the Law & Ethics page. Here where you happen to be in the world is crucial to the validity of the answer -- in the case of the UK, you even have to know whether the person is in England and Wales or in Scotland for the answer to make sense. I looked at this page yesterday having diligently restricted my page to UK & Ireland Answers only and saw that every single question showing came from North America.

    Don't you care about Miley Cyrus or Justin Bieber updates? What about the feud between Jon and Kate??? Wait, Simon Cowell is a Brit, don't you want "American Idol" updates every fifteen minutes?

    :)

    How's the Queen doing?

    *punches the air* Yay! Frankie's back. I whole heatedly agree with you. I've noticed the complaints in the amount of V/N's go up when this sort of thing happens.

    I can't believe all the comments about Americans..what's the deal with everyone today. This is supposed to be a shared website. If we can't get lone on website-can you just imagine all of us together in person. Man some people gonna get hurt..Chill out people!!
