Why does Yahoo change layouts of their web pages and make it worse?
Yahoo Answers is now almost impossible to navigate. It is such a hassle that I would assume both answerers and questioners would no longer patronize this feature.

It used to be great - log on, get current news headlines and could go right to stories and be updatred on breaking news. Pile of crap, now. Old news, no relevant stories. There are links that are almost 3 years old. I didn't care for the quiz on whether someone was a former VP or a ball player in 2013, still don't - why is th elink still there? Talk about ruining a good thing. This is an absolute waste now!

I don't like it, either. Half the categories are hidden in "More" section.
When I want to return back to my chosen Category (after answering a question, it won't reload the questions pass #20. I have to re-pick my Category, again. It also does not seem to keep updating new questions for at least 2 hours.

At first I hated it too but within a day or two I got used to it, and now I think it's just as good as before (but it's got a lot of bugs).

They do it because they can and they don't listen to anyone.
I think their people are inexperienced and don't know anything about customer service.
I just learned that if you go to Y!A Canada, you can have the old layout and it works fine. You still see all of your activity.
