    This new format adds several features users were whining to get. It incorporates the new Yahoo colors and links directly to the Yahoo profile. It is glitchy, but really no more than the old site and it does add those new features and fixes some of the old glitches. Bottom line, you need to learn to use it, because the old format will be going away for all.

    Yahoo guys at the top love and pity us users. They deliberately messed up the great Yahoo format we enjoyed until a few weeks ago purpose so we'll quit Yahoo. The reason is they were approached by the NSA and HLS and the FBI and the CIA and told they must allow them to spy on all those who trusted them.

    They tried to say no, I read, but they were threatened with indefinite detention without a trial so they caved in under pressure.

    They are being forced to do something they know is wrong, so to get even with the government thugs (that a bunch of mentally inadequate voters re-elected who are forcing Yahoo and Google to drill a peep hole into every email account so they can 'get to know us' for sinister reasons) they are driving us away the way a good sheep dog disperses the flock when danger lurks.

    Betrayed by the very people the voters empowered, snoopy spies paid with money from our pockets extorted via taxes, are watching something like 20 million of us with no warrant so they can size each of us up! What for? You can bet whenever a stranger is caught sneaking around your emails, peeking in your back micro soft windows they can't be up to anything good!

    ing we don't, so they are trying to get us to close down our accounts voluntarily and safe ourselves.

    It is my understanding the people at the top of Yahoo and Google wanted to protect our privacy from the current administration's nosiness but they were threatened with indefinite detainment and crumbled under pressure.

    The good folks at Yahoo are downgrading their services so we'll close down our accounts voluntarily. They are cleverly shooing us away, to protect us from Big Brother's uncalled for scrutiny that is an unconstitutional intrusion into our private lives.

    Yahoo! Answers hates their users and would very much like them to find an easier, less confusing way to waste time. Also, Yahoo is imploding internally and suffering from depression and schizophrenia. Yahoo! in fact is trying to commit corporate suicide. I say we help them accomplish this goal by deleting our yahoo accounts as I plan to once all my contacts switch to my gmail account. F**k Yahoo!
