Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

How can I get the old yahoo answers page, I HATE the new one?

I can't figure out how to use the "new" yahoo answers page, I think they have 13 year olds write their software. It's HORRIBLE. Is there a way to use the old yahoo answers page? I'm not even sure if I'll be able to read any answers, this new page is totally confusing and frustrating. No wonder Yahoo stock is doing so poorly.

    It actually quite a lot easier once you slow down and learn to see where to click. I can assure you that if I can pick it up.....You can.

    Occasionally I will switch to one of the other English speaking countries like NZ or Australia just to use the green, but we believe it is just a matter of time for them to change also like the UK has.

    I imagine with the ad revenue they get from Answers certainly cover the expense of running it

    Yahoo answers Canada still uses the old one last I checked. Also mobile devices such as tablets, smartphones, and media players still use the old layout.

    Once you've been upgraded you can't go back to the old format. You can use another site like Canada's but it will only be temporary until they get the upgrade as well.

    You can't. Just like the new YouTube set up, this is probably here to stay for a while. Sorry
