WHY is the answering a question on Yahoo Answers 4 points now instead of two, and what's wrong with the category selection of questions?

Yahoo is giving all users 4 points each time an answer is given. It is Yahoo's way of thanking users for using the site, it only lasts until December 31st and then it reverts back to 2 points per answer again.

As for the category selection, it could just be a little glitch.

What's wrong with the category selection? I didn't notice anything with that. I do know if you search for a particular subject, you can no longer click newest and get the most recent question. The 4 points are Yahoo's little way to say thank you for the month of December... a gift. See what they did there? LOL

Is just a special Christmas gift that they do every December. Enjoy it while it lasts!

They doubled the points for this month, you know, for Christmas.
