Will Yahoo switch back to the much more user friendly green interface for Yahoo Answers?
Will Yahoo switch back to the much more user friendly green interface for Yahoo Answers?
This new one is much, much, much harder to find your way around.
Hi Oklatom, What have they fixed? To me the problem is that there is no page where you can easily flip between your questions, answers and best answers plus they have not delineated sections properly. By using one colour it just seems like a single jumble on the page. I'm using ca.answers.yahoo.com until they change that and I guess I'll just have to find a better general questions forum when they change the canadian one.

I don't know what Oklatom is talking about. I'm not a stick in the mud about upgrades but this is NOT an upgrade, it is a DOWNGRADE.
My Activity = Gone.
My Saved Searches = Gone.
My Answered Questions = Gone.
Spellchecker = Gone.
And if this crappy format is here to stay then I'm gone too.

No, they will not switch back. There are a lot of things I don't like about this new version...but I've pretty much found everything at this point. I never switch over to Canada Answers or any of the other English languge Answers sites. So I've had time to figure things out.

There are no plans to downgrade back to the former green interface. It is being rolled out and will eventually be everywhere. The new corrects a lot of errors in the old that people have been complaining about for years, and in fact, once you learn the new system, it is easier to find what you want using it.
At the top right is a gear symbol, rest your cursor there and you will find the help pages which will help you to learn navigation of the site.

No it is progress to them though most I know don't like it at all. I think when the time comes that they switch all the countries over you will find a lot less users here like myself.

I still have the been one! It was saved as one of my most clicked on links, and hasn't change to the new updated version yet. If they change back, try and save it as one of your favourites, and them it might not update when you click on it.
