Why was the format of Question and answers changed?

Is there any way to retrieve this information ? Some of the questions and answers I saved were relevant to me and were saved for a reason. I find this new format difficult to access .Were users even asked about this change ? Any information would be appreciated.

Update:

I think I found what I wanted.Sorry about that .I was looking under the wrong heading I think. I'll keep playing around and try to figure this out.

    The format change is a riddle for all users!

    Get back to Green and switch to Purple whenever you want !?!:

    Use the Add-ons "User Agent Overrider" for Firefox or "User Agent Switcher" for Chrome to get Green back. Set them to IE6 or Opera 12.00. Apple Safari has a built-in User Agent Switcher. And Internet Explorer has got a Compatibility Mode.

    You are able to switch always and easy between Green and Purple.

    Yahoo feels PC users are no longer relevant. Just look at how the new layout is designed. It seems it is designed for mobile phone users. However, it is still not easy to use on a mobile phone, either.

    Because Yahoo's run by idiots who keep forcing things on us that we don't want. If it ain't broke, don't break it!
