Who else thinks the new page layout of YA is fugly?

Way too much space spent on advertising and not enough on content.

Don't need the previews of body text - I can tell by reading a question whether I want to read the body of the text. So now I have to scroll more than I used to in order to see the same number of questions.

Lots of space wasted on the "leaderboard." Not worthy of that much page real estate.

Fewer categories in the quick links at top of page; now I have to go to a pop-up menu to reach "R&B/Soul" and "Music-Other"

Rollover buttons that pop up under your mouse as you scroll questions are distracting, just plain annoying, to be honest. To avoid this I have to move my mouse pointer to some uninhabited area of the page while I scroll through questions, then I have to move it back to click on one. Blech.

YA, your UI designers need to go back to school. Or work for somebody who has a good UIX department before coming back to Yahoo.

I dislike this page format SO much that I probably won't be participating in YA much anymore.

Anybody else?

Just sayin'...

    I'm not thrilled with it either.

    I found 2 ways to use the old format....

    Click on "International" on the left side & select another country such as Canada or UK. This will allow you to use the old format for the time being.

    Try switching browsers. I was using Firefox & switched to Internet Explorer. I can use the old format on Explorer.

    Also...Here is a link to leave feedback/comments about the new format.

    Yes, I have used the American version and it is more difficult to use. The previous layout is easier to use and better organized. I am now using the Canadian and UK versions of Y! A.
