Why does the new YA no longer allow me to report a violation?

It also doesn't give me spell checker. This is while using IE browser. It's okay from Google Chrome.

    Hi, Hannah.

    I would expect it is within the functionality of the upgrade.

    In addition, I have read that they are using a very heavy hand with the Community Guidelines, so maybe they think that is enough.

    I didn't like the update, so I turned to "Search Yahoo Answers" and found that going to Yahoo Answers in another country would give me the original. Another answerer gave a great link, which I used, and lo and behold, I was back with the familiar. In case you would like it, here it is as many have turned elsewhere since they have so much trouble. http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/

    I put the link in my Bookmarks Folder so that it is at the top left of my screen. No mistakes that way.

    The original will give you what you seek, and only the programmers know why they have changed the rules.

    Good luck

    As others have said, it does.

    It just doesn't telegraph it with the label "Report Abuse". The little flag at right / bottom right of the post is where it's always been - click on that.
