Do you hate this new Yahoo layout in Answers, as I do?
Well, I hate it. And I can't find the Suggestion Board to tell them. Everything I need is squished in the middle, and it is one, long, scrolling page rather than 20 at a time. It doesn't tell me which ones I got "Best Answer" on, only that it is now a "Reference" question--because SOMEONE got "Best".
I don't need to see the Menu on the left column all the time. Put it back on the top and let it scroll up so there's more room to expand the width of the questions themselves back to what it was.
I really hate this new format, and it's difficult to use. It takes me 2-3 times as long just to vote, for one thing.

I don't know who the Yahoo was that designed the new format for Yahoo Answers but it's going to take more than a period of adjustment to get me to like it. I HATE IT!!!!!!!

I used the Yahoo toolbar to keep Ikons of bills that I needed to pay since my brain was slightly damaged where memory is stored.
I used to just go down the list of Ikons and when I was done, I was finished.
Now I have creditors calling me because I thought the bill was paid, only to find that it was the previous month. Most have been kind and a few call me before the bill is due so that I don't get any late fee's, but not all of them do this. Most want their whopping charges. On the amount of money I receive on Disability, which is about a 25% of what I was once able to make when I could walk and use my brain properly... I can't afford these charges.
After using Yahoo since July of 1999, I am now looking for a new home page that will give me a similar service.
Older people can't handle changes like this easily either. Giving them no choice means they are going to go elsewhere. Two are my parents, 76 and 84. They are healthy but don't handle changes well any longer.
Did ANYONE think about their users before they took away their services without asking? I wasn't asked and didn't say Yes to the change.
Poor Service!!!!

Right now, I use the Y!Canada; it is still in the old layout (don't know until when).
