Why do I get different versions of Yahoo Answers depending on which browser I use?
I have both Google Chrome and Internet Explorer on my desktop. If I go to Yahoo Answers in IE, it's the old, familiar version. If I use Chrome, then I get the new "improved" version--which by the way, I find a bit "clunky" to use even if it looks "prettier".
Anyway, I'm just curious as why there are two different versions.

The "new" version is supposed to be active in the US on all accounts and browsers, supposedly. The fact is, it isn't. I had it on IE for several weeks, then, with NO change on my side - I reverted to the old one again. Others are saying the opposite. It may be due to an old cookie on your computer, it may be due to an upgrade to IE, java and/or something else entirely. Nobody knows except, possibly, staff - and they aren't talking.
