Yahoo changed the whole format to look more like Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr to attract all those users to sign up here...More users ...More Ad revenue.
I agree the new one is far less user friendly and slower and there are some very annoying features and so many glitches.
The new format must have been designed by someone who obviously has never used the site and probably never will.
It was also by someone who thinks clicking over and over,endless scrolling and cluttered pages was a good idea.
If you do not want to use the new format, For Now you can use the Canada site as it is still the old format and has the same q&a. http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/
To understand where things are on the new format the video tutorial will help show you.
