    You've asked one question recently without an answer.

    Bear in mind it's

    a) late night/overnight US time

    b) the holiday week between Xmas and New Year

    As a result people have a lot of things going on at this time of year and today is one of the peak travel days with people either going home or moving from one place to another for Xmas to New Year.

    If you don't get an answer within 24 hours then place your question again at a different time to increase the change it will get seen and answered.

    EDIT - Looks like it's time to dispel the quanti-guess myth again from the person who doesn't have the guts to post as himself so needs to do so under the blue hat cloak. Quantcast is little better than a guesstimate as Yahoo does not publish data. So whilst it has undoubtedly lost users over the last 3 years anyone rolling out figures is just guessing:)

    As you have proven yourself. You do get answers. Keep your questions nice and concise, in the right category and if you don't get an answer then feel free to ask them again. Don't give up :)

    As you know there has been a very sharp decline of users since April. Per quantcast over 2 million have given up in past 8 months. About 2 to 3 sections seem to generate most of the traffic.

    That's why you may not be getting answers

    Maybe people don't know the answers. Or you only ask the question in the title and do not follow up with any details.
