    Looks like they are changing a lot of services, but the old answers was better.

    They changed it to bring Answers more in line with other Y! sites, and to make it more appealing to those users who favor Facebook, Tumblr, etc. ... they are attempting to entice younger users who live for social media.

    Ranting about it HERE gets you nowhere. There are 2 threads on the suggestion board for giving feedback on the new format. If you want to complain, you should do so there.

    If you wish to continue using the old format, you can use another country's site. Click 'International' in the left sidebar and go to Canada's (or UK's, or Australia's, etc.) Answers site.

    If you want to learn to navigate the new format, the tutorial at this link is helpful:

    I'm not a fan of the new format, either ... but it does get easier to use once you figure out where everything is and how to work the features.

    I want it back as much as you do! It is said that they changed it in order to suit the world of mobile devices. But I am happy sitting at home with my laptop! If I can access the internet 24//7 carrying a mobile device, then the internet loses it's specialness.
