The "Recommended" feature is still tested on a few users, across all systems, all browsers, and all countries. When it was first introduced, it was a complete nuisance because no matter what you tried, after answering a single question in "open questions", it defaulted back to "recommended". After enough users have complained about it, Yahoo changed their tactics - now you can go to any sub-category, and if you see the "recommended" tab, simply click "open questions". The system will remember your choice until you sign off YA.
**Latest update: Question Recommender has been enhanced to allow you to reject questions that you don’t want to answer. You can do this by hovering over a question in the Recommended Tab and then clicking the “X” button (top right). This will prevent that question from appearing again in your Recommended list. We hope you like this improvement**
