Do you use Answers more or less now than you did last year?

Less, The last few updates are making it a complete waste of time now. They have taken the comments button off of best answers. And the change before that made it more difficult to answer one question after another. Its more difficult to remain in the same category. I have to go back to the menu and search for the section over and over again after each answer.

There has been a steady decline of users on Y/A for the last few years. Back in 08 when I joined there were about 10 questions a second being posted through out Y/A, now may be 50 an hour. But yes I am here about 50% less than I was.
Not sure what every one is talking about the background on my page is gold.

I use Y!A about the same. I knew eventually the new format was going to a permanent fixture, so rather than fight it, I incorporated both for awhile. This format is harder to navigate than the original green. So, I practiced. I prefer the original/green format but, the purple format is here to stay. I've endured many changes on web pages that I particularly didn't like, mostly in the beginning. The truth is, the more I used it the sooner I forgot about the change.

I hardly visit answers at all now. The purple monstrosity doesn't work properly on my PC. I also find it harder on the eyes plus slow and hard to navigate... ugh! The only reason I am here now is to try and find a way back to the old format, since they blocked the user agent switcher. I am told there is a way.
