Why did yahoo answers change it's format?
It's been almost a year since I've been in the yahoo answers section. I'm like, what the #$%$ happened? This is crazy. They completely changed it. I loved the old version, but this new one is suck. I don't understand why they changed it. Was there something wrong with the old one? This one is a little bit confusing. Are they ever going to change it back? I doubt it. But this one ridiculous.

Many loved the old version, even with all the glitches. However, all websites have to update. There were several reasons Yahoo did this.
1. To better work with ads and the people paying the bills.
2. To work better on mobile devices.
3. To add features users requested (have you found them?)
4. To use newer software.
5. To look more like Facebook, etc
They will not be going back, but they do keep updating it. It is actually a bit faster to use once you try it for a while.
