    Clear the cookies on Firefox and if it doesn't work then clear them again. You will pick up a cookie which is not linked to the trial and then you can use the old version.

    However it has to be said that this is likely a short term fix because eventually Y! will implement the new version anyway regardless of public opinion as they have done the same to the homepage, Y! News, Y! Groups etc. Take a look at the response here to the new version of groups http://yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/209451 41k votes and counting........ and the new layout remains.

    So it is just a matter of time in my opinion so I'm personally trying to get used to it whilst I can still check stuff in the old version rather than it be a forced change.

    Up until now the new version got only displayed on the US site of YA, apparently it is now also tested in other English speaking YA countries - saw the 1st report about it from NZ yesterday. So far the UK site still has the old familiar design, maybe switch over there for the time being? If you want to try: click the UK flag at the bottom of this page - same content, old version, just make sure that you choose "all English questions" at the top of any category. That's what I've been doing since a couple of weeks already and it works like a charm...:-)

    Also take a look at this thread on the Suggestion Board, it's where users can post problems with the new page. And there seem to be many, many problems: http://suggestions.yahoo.com/detail/?prop=answers&...

    You can use one of the other Enlish speaking sites, all the same q&a but the new format is only being tested on the U.S site.
