Will YAHOO consider giving us back English and Northern Ireland only Q and answers.?

The politics section in Q and A has become a marathon trying to wade through Americas problems ,which in most cases we know nothing about' Anyway don't we have enough political queries here in Britain to contend with . I find the new set up infuriating and time consuming. please bring back ENGLISH AND N. IRELAND ONLY Q A.

    It's not just the U.K/Ireland, but Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and a couple of other countries whose language is also English based, that are affected. So it's bigger than just that.

    It even can affect us here in the States, as some questions, especially those that may regard laws, can be completely and totally answered incorrectly. Not only is there that, but now there are no longer any of the national flags, to help designate the country, where the email originated from.

    So unless a person gives their nation of origin, it makes a mess for all users, and not just for the U.K./Ireland.

    Edit point:

    By the way, even users here in the States have complained about the same thing.

    My suspicion about this is that the number of new questions has dropped a lot since they made all the changes - and putting all the English language ones together makes it look as if there is still a good level of interest in the site.

    It would help if the modified some of the categories so that at least in areas like Law and Politics you had the chance to post under a country name. Even bringing back the little flags to let us know on which national site a question was posted would help.

    I agree with what you say when we have to read through a lot of US questions to find a UK Ireland one. All our questions in UK are suppose to be read by a security team so surely there has been enough complaints for them to read knowing that we want the old page and UK & Ireland questions only? Good Luck
