How do I get back the OLD YAHOO format. as this new one SUCKS?

I cant find anything here. WHy does all the categories have to be listed with double space on the left side|? Its a total waste of space. Then this huge column for the avatars. UNNECESSARY. Finally the huge space on the right for ADS. Whats with the size 8 font anyway? Bad designers and bad decision makers. Total fail combination.

    The new format is horrendous, both for askers and answerers. It must have been designed by a committee of idiots who never actually used Y! Answers.

    Because I hate the new format so much, I have been going through Answers Canada, which still uses the old format. If Yahoo! goes through with their plan of imposing the new format universally, I'll simply say bye-bye to the whole thing.

    When I log in and get the new interface, I close it out as fast as I logged in, I will not use it, right now I have the green one. The new one is too difficult to use even after playing with it.

    Yahoo, the old on was not broken, you can not fix what is not broken, and your attempt did not make it better. Yahoo there is such a thing as a settings button so we can use the best one for the user and device, I will not by a tablet or dumb phone to use yahoo.

    Some ppl say logging into a different country can help, I get the old one every couple days like now, this time I saved the cookies for it, I'll see how that works in the future.

    Stuck with this new design.

    If a question requires a detailed answer, I submit, go look for information, then submit. Irksome! But six times at least I have lost my whole answer, ''oops''. Given up in despair.

    Learnt from my mistakes.

    Reckon the challenge is to adapt or gulp, well, I'm not going to let a machine get the better of me!!

    Oh! At times, the submit button disappears altogether. Great!

    If too many answers, won't let in an answer. The trick to type unseen, submit, then edit. On one occasion no edit button, after a one word submission. Answer had to go into comment box. Thankfully that was working.

    Yahoo, technology, wonderful.

    Have to resort to being flexible.

    I cannot use this new system - bring back the previous system - I cannot send cc or bcc mail.

    Let us go back to the old one. I spent several hours and I can't send copies or un-named copies. why?
