Is the old Answers format back for good in the US or is this just a glitch?

I hope the old format stays!

Update:

Edit: I was using the UK version so this is a pleasant surprise.

    Mine reverted back to the old format about .. a week or two ago.

    I quite liked the new format. So I am not bothered if it comes back or if we keep the old one.

    Its probably temporary - I think the new format will be back shortly.

    It's a glitch. I've only seen the new format once and I don't like it. I've tried to get onto it a few times so I can try to get used to it.

    I was hoping they'd keep the old format too, but it looks like it's here to stay :(

    Don't get too used to it... it's temporary. It's a glitch that causes some to go back to the old format... but it's not all of us. I still have the new... you will get the new format back eventually.

    Yea, I've been using all the English speaking countries just so I can make sense of all this. I hope Y/A will finally see the error of its ways and return us to the old format. Whose bright idea was this, anyway????

    Must be a glitch as I still have the new one here I don't care for at all. I just go to the canadian site since it still has the old one I love.
