why is the yahoo answers page so inefficient now and keeps on being eroded into the mess it now is?

This format is as useless on new tablets as on old pc.

Cant see to type. Need 3 different browsers, just to get some functions to work.

One minute there the answer, the next some claptrap decides to show up, unasked. Restart again.

There is speculation Yahoo may be bought out. Mmmm.

Your analysis is a matter of opinion. Yahoo! Answers has made changes to its format before and probably will again, nothing stays the same on websites, as they modify to keep updated with new users, new devices, new requests.

I have used the newest version of Yahoo! Answers for a week now and find it very easy to use and I happen to like it. Once you use it more, you may like it too. It just takes some time to get use to new and different formats.

Nobody here can effectively answer this type of question, sorry. The changes are obviously being directed by management, but in many cases ARE being responsive to user requests. Within limits. They will never revert back to the old green formula, but newer changes are often done in response to user dissatisfaction with certain aspects of the site. Of course, not everybody accepts, or adapts to, change the same way. For many users, though, while the site IS different, it isn't perceived as a mess.

"Advanced 'improvements'!"

It's horrible, I agree, but it's still a bit better than that purple monster they tried to force on us........bring back the old green user-friendly format, yamster!
