Does anyone else miss the original ANSWERS format?

THIS NEW ANSWERS SUCKS. But Yahoo has become nothing but a humanless corporation that repeatedly proves that it's Suits in their ivory towers don't give one rat'sass about what the customers want even though their stock levels plummet. It's all about money and business to them and their greedy stockholders who do not care about the company's innate value or the services it provides or how miserable the customers are so long as they get a dividend.

I preferred the old green format. It was aesthetically more appealing, a bit less glitchy, didn't have Level 7 trolls moving questions willy-nilly, was easier to scan and review your history, and in spite of the abuse of voting, at least it had a feature to resolve questions instead of leaving them hanging for years. Also, once a question was closed, it was closed, and you wouldn't get spam answers to questions that are five years old.

Not as such,but I miss all those useful features we once had. Community voting was interesting and fairer as the answers were anonymous so the answer was voted on not the person who had posted it.
Really the site has been stripped to its bare minimum to allow it to function.
The question moving idea is the finest Troll tool they have ever come up with.

I think a lot of us do. I had an account for many years (which I recently got locked out of because I couldn't remember my old cell phone number.) It was much friendlier and fun.
