Mamma Cat asked in PetsCats · 8 years ago

Does anyone else have a problem with the new Yahoo page?

I have been a top contributor to yahoo and now they have changed there page. I can't find answers to respond to.

If I do, then I am kicked off the page and have to go back to find another question. I am asking this in cats as it is my top category.

Help.

Update:

Edit: I went to the suggestion page and after waiting several minutes and reading 2 month old suggestions, I was kicked off. Odd.

    Hi Mamma Cat,

    Yahoo are testing a new format which most users hate, including myself! I don't know if they will go through with it as many are complaining on the SB:

    http://suggestions.yahoo.com/detail/?prop=answers&...

    If you scroll down to the bottom of the page and switch countries, some are still using the old format. The Canada, UK and others still have the old format for now. There is no way of knowing if and when they will keep the new format. I do hope not!!

    I hate it too but luckily i am in the UK and it has not happened fully here yet,when i use IE i get the horrible new profile but with Chrome i do not,but as mentioned scroll down to the bottom and click either Canada or UK to get the good old one back again,

    not sure if they will carry this out as all they have is complaints so far and all hate it,i find it confusing and one other thing nobody has said as yet is our amount of top answers has suddenly vanished,i have been a TC in cats for 5 years now and if they go ahead with the new i will not be here anymore as i find it too much of a confusion,

    but i get all you say i cannot find things to answer either without going the long way around,and by then i am to flustered to answer,i hope they stick with the old version for every ones sake,but yes get the old back but not sure how long we can keep it,

    hope this helps.

    I don't like the new format, either, as there's lots of bugs in it. One thing that annoys me is you can make an answer with several paragraphs but if you edit your question the paragraph breaks are eliminated and it's all one big paragraph.

    Do what I've been doing - open Answers from another country's Yahoo. Yahoo Canada's is at http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/ Other countries still have the old format :) You can still access all the questions.

    I can't even find where to go and ASK a question anymore. I am more interested in cats, because I have had them all my life, and after losing our beloved george last Oct. I never thought I would heal enough to get another, but we did ans now have a 4 month old little cutie named Ginny, I got her from a rescue and she was in bad shape, to long to go thru it here, but my main concern was her surgical incision had been licked open because the shelter had taken off her cone/e collar and not put it back on..anyway thanks to Mama cat she helped me to understand what the large knot on the incision could be....I wish there were more help here to show people how to ask and answer questions.

    I have mixed feelings about it. For whatever the reason, I can have it both ways. if I use Internet Explorer 10 I get the old format, but the new one when I use Firefox. From what I hear, you can still access the old format from YA Canada. Think the URL is

    www.ca.answers.yahoo.com

    I am among those who hate this new format.
