How do I switch back to the previous version of Yahoo Answers?

You can't switch back, and need to go to another country like Australia, Canada, New Zealand or UK.

Look for the link International over there on the left index

H-man

It's just different. Different doesn't mean bad, it just means it's not what we're used to. Give it a little time.

It takes a little getting used to. Normally, I am not a big fan of change for no good reason. However, this change really does seem to be an improvement, once one gets used to some things' being in a different place.

It looks like Yahoo really is making the switch. Using another country's site to get the old format is just postponing the inevitable. I say use the new one and get used to it.

I like the in-line reporting and the Add Media link and the fact that anyone can now use the thumbs ratings system. I also like that, if you know where to look, you can see who gave you a thumbs-up rating.

For the time being, you can use any of the international English language versions. UK, Canada and Singapore are three.

I just looked at the "everything" tab in the new version, and it said I had rated an answer 4 decades ago.

Decades?!

Its isn't possible to switch back to the old version once you've been switched to he new format. You can use another country's page but that will only work temporarily until they get the new format as well.
