How does everyone feel about the new Answers! layout?

What does everyone think?

Do you find it easier to navigate and find information as a reasearcher?

As an answerer, do you find it easy to identify your history and check up on what you answered? How about navigating to categories that interest you?

    I haven't been on here for a while, a little getting used to. It does not have the same feel like the original layout that was more intuitive.

    i hate this new format. It is impossible to go through my answers. The page never finishes loading! And i don't like having to start back at the top after looking at one of my answered questions. Navigating to categories is another pain in the butt. i have to keep searching and clicking different links until i finally get to the category i want.

    It seems Yahoo is now punishing me for using the Canadian version. i can see the list but when i click on a question it says, Sorry, something has gone wrong. That's okay because i can see a significant drop in usership. Many people were unhappy to the changes made to Yahoo Mail and left and now more unhappy people will be leaving Yahoo Answers. Without users, they'll go out of business. i know this sounds mean but i am going to laugh and toast a drink to the demise of Yahoo. They really brought this on themselves. i understand change is imminent but these changes are only angering and driving away loyal users. They saw what a failure tinkering around with the email was and they did it again. Yahoo deserves to die.

    For me I dislike it very much. It is too scattered and has some really useless non features and totally does not function for me at all.

    Far too many glitches .

    I cannot answer questions but strangely I can edit answer I have posted from the Canadian site...Can't vote on it.

    Hate the silly TC Crown and animated logo.

    Hate the endless scrolling and I do not need to know every little thing my contacts are doing.

    Hate having a profile page on it full of stuff i don't need to see..

    The only good feature on it is the Inernational link that allows me to Click Canada and takes me back to http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/ which has the old format.

    Hate it most of the time and having to look at all the pictures that are now "just" there as opposed to clicking a link is a pain in the asss.

    I wonder if YA even knows some 13-14 year old posted a naked picture of themselves in the beauty section the other day. And some guy wanting to know if he was attractive posting a full frontal. Come on YA at least get rid of the pictures in posts.

    It took a lot of getting used to for me, but I am getting more comfortable with it now.

    I have the same feelings and issues as Marcus; how Yahoo can allow direct linking of images and videos when they KNOW for a fact that trolls post incredibly obscene things here is beyond me.

    Dunno what to say. The old one was way easier to use, but i am using this one just to learn it and get used to it more.
