Why does Yahoo Answers delete paragraph breaks when you edit an answer?

Question

The new format is terrible. When I edit an answer, it takes out all the paragraph breaks so my answer is just one long paragraph.  Also, just now as I try to post this question, it is showing a similar question which says it was posted six years ago, but it was really six days ago.

And another thing: Why does it only show half the categories? You have to keep clicking "more" to find the category you want. Also it only shows a few questions at a time, not nearly as many as the old format. I can't believe anyone thought that was a good idea.

The new format stinks and I hate it. Thanks for listening.

On  the  new  format....when you submit   your edited answer it  might look like the format has been lost, all your words will look bunched up. 
What you do is submit it and then use the F5 refresh key and it will be as it should be.

  If you do not want to use the new format, For Now you can use the Canada site as it is still the old format and has the same q&a. http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/
