Does anyone else hate the new format as much as I do?

Update:

Spiritually speaking of course.

    Short Answer: Yes.

    Long Answer: YES YES YES YES YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

    I have to close the tab and reload it several times a day because of the glitchiness, not to mention the fact that it is far harder to review things.

    Just remember to edit the question to add "spiritually speaking" to it.

    Yes, it's completely unworkable. For the old format, choose "international" in the left menu, and then select any English speaking country. Australia and Canada are near the top of the list.

    I don't know why Y!A is making the site less user-friendly, but there is a fix.

    Cheers,

    Change browsers if you can.

    I'm on a Mac and almost exclusively use Firefox. For a while, my entire computer would only render the new purple way. Over a week ago, it suddenly changed back to green. I randomly checked the site the other day in Safari... it's purple in Safari.

    So try changing browsers to see if that helps.

    I'm in the US.

    ps. Personally, I like a lot of the purple features. It's just too bad the implementation is terrible.

  • No I have to say I like it better than the old format! There are "teething problems" but on the whole, I much prefer it!

    Oh and of course: spiritually speaking lol

    more than anything else, the new format enables shills and people who open multiple accounts so they can both ask and answer their own questions.

    look at the top 10 contributors in any category - they will all have their q and a set as private.

    why would they do that?

    i've got over 48,000 points and never once have had anyone bother me off this forum - i, therefore can only assume they all do this because if we could see their q and a, we'd see the odd pattern of them asking and answering their own questions.

    we laugh at these shills as pathetic - yahoo honors them.

    No not hate but dislike as it's not user friendly. Hate is a strong emotion and we are to hate wickedness and I cant say this site is wicked. Now Satan is wicked. What is so funny is I have a French and Irish sites. I don't speak French and Ireland is OK but this is a glitch.

    YA is still trying to fix my account, if this works this is the first question i have been able to answer since the new format arrived.

    Yes, I cannot send answers, most of the time, from the US site; must go to Canada or Philippines.
