Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode.

What happened here? Did Yahoo screw-up again?

What did Yahoo do here? I was a leading answerer on this Q&A board; something like number 5. What happened to folks like CPO Bob and Jim and Cheryl and the rest? I felt like I was making some (virtual) friendships on the DC board. Is Yahoo really THAT dumb?

    I do not know what happened.

    I was also a leader in answers for Mexico, but that went away also.

    Maybe it go caught on the budget issue for Washington, but not for Mexico.

    We still know the work you have done.

    Thanks

    They've really gone and screwed up Yahoo Answers big time. I have been #1 in the Philadelphia section for at least the last 4 years. I am not even on the top 10 now. I have never even seen the person they have listed as #1 before. I have been in the top 10 of Other United States for a few years as well. I am not listed there either. Hopefully they will fix it, although I have my doubts.

    Nick,

    Your question is showing as being from Yahoo Answers United Kingdom, at least on my screen.

    Might that have something to do with it?

    The USA page has been completely changed and there is a big drop off in traffic. I spend a lot less time here because it has lost its appeal.

    Glitches all the time. Maybe when you switched from USA new platform to UK old version.

    My guess.
