Why does Yahoo! keep ruining their best sites?
First Flickr (though the free 1TB of storage is nice), then Fantasy Football, and now Answers. In their rush to be "new" and "different," they've ruined the whole Answers experience. Where can I find a list of my recent answers which are still open and/or in voting? The "My activities" tab simply shows things like "You answered a question" or "Your answer was picked as best," but doesn't show WHICH question it is -- you have to click through to see the question. It also doesn't indicate the status of a question (open, resolved, or best answer). Frustrating!
Anyone else hate the new Answers?

I detest this. It is so hard to see your own questions and answers because they are listed and not organized.

This is awful. I just ran into that same problem with the "generic" list of questions. I actually kind of like some of the Fantasy Football stuff, but this is intolerable, as is the mail "improvement".
It's obvious they want what we say to be passed around to all other media, but what they're doing wrong that FB and others aren't doing is massive changes to the basic platform. This will just drive people away. I'm a power user of YA and I can't function like this.

On the NEW version, go to the YA home page. Find the "Everything" tab/link and select the "All" option. That should give a menu that includes a list of your questions and answers.
If you go to the YA blog:
http://yahooanswers.tumblr.com/
they have links to a video tuturial there that might help you get a bit more oriented.
