Argh - What did Y!A do?
Why have they done this? Did anyone log on and get shocked? I think I liked the old layout better.
Although, one thing I did find funny was that after changing all this they still can't categorise questions correctly. It was recommended this question go in Parenting and Adolescent, lol.

No, I didn't get shocked - I'm dealing with this crap quite a while already: too much stuff crammed into a single page, no more option to send a message to another user by clicking a link in his profile, and quite a few other glitches...:-(
Up until recently the new version got only displayed on the US site of YA (maybe also in NZ). So far the UK and Canada still have the old familiar design, maybe switch over there for the time being? If you want to try: click the respective 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 for the UK. That's what I've been doing since a couple of weeks already and it works like a charm...:-)
Also take a look at these threads on the Suggestion Board, currently #2 and #3, related to problems with the new YA display: http://suggestions.yahoo.com/?prop=answers - you can use them for giving your feedback.

I rebooted thinking somehow I get routed into a strange place. This sight lacks the good features of the other.
