Yahoo Answers hangs (new format). Why?
I'm logged in, looking at the list of questions (in any category, including Recommended and Recent), I click to select a new list, or new category - and the list does not change.. Then when I press F5 (reload), the change that I requested occurs. This happens on almost all clicks. (Occasionally it does change - I have not found a consistent pattern).
What could be causing this? I have tried removing the YA cookies - no change in behaviour.
OS is Win XP, browser is SeaMonkey (same as Firefox, but without the stupid new interface).

The new format is a glitch-ridden mess.
If clearing the cache, cookies, and browser history (or wiping old data from your computer, which can also be very helpful) hasn't improved the problem, then try logging onto YA with a different browser. I'm using Firefox, and so far, the new layout is working fine for me (admittedly, I don't use it too often).
If it is not the browser, and the problem only occurs on the YA new format, I would migrate over to Canada, which is still using the green (functional) layout: http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/

Whether or not thise new version works for you or not seems to depend on the device or software that you use.
