Soes Yahoo Answers have a new layout or am I having trouble with my computer?

Seems YA has completely changed. If so...bummer. Anyone else notice this? You would know what I'm talking about, because it's completely different.

Update:

Sorry. "Does" (Typo alert)

Update 2:

I'm on my desktop at work. I noticed it earlier on my desktop at home. Same thing. Didn't know you could go back to closed questions and answer. I don't see the point in that either. I'm guessing a good many users will be disappointing soon. I'll certainly be one of them. Oh well, time to free up my time and write a book anyway. Blessing in disguise.

Update 3:

I hope you are right Yahzmin. I like YA. For the most part, I answer questions that need facts, not opinions. I know a lot about a few things, and if I can help someone (labor of love), it makes me feel good. I like helping other people. But I have filed most of my answers into categories; working up to writing a book. It has been my major outlet for my content. I always write best when questioned.

BTW. I'm not giving thumbs, but I will pick a best answer, as I always do.

    The new version is still in testing mode as far as we know. For some people, clearing cache, cookies and temporary files, then restarting the device will bounce them back to the old version. Or go to one of the other English language sites like UK or Canada.

    It's really quite awful but thankfully it's only the mobile version that has seen this drastic change. The desktop format is still the same, from what I can tell. With this new version, you can actually answer questions from years ago that are already resolved and have a best answer selected. That is just silly.
