    I heard of changes taking place, but not certain what all is being changed, and no one here would know. It's Yahoo/Verizon's site and they can change anything they want, and however they want, whether any of us likes it or not.

    Apparently people in here don't understand how these things take place on a website.

    Changes take place little by little and in various regions called 'farms'. That may be an old term now, but that name use to show up in the url of each page clicked on. They have the date encoded into it now.

    So, anyway whatever they call it, the operation is still the same. Not everyone sees the same glitches at the same time, and roll-outs don't show up at the same time either. Almost nothing occurs at the same time for any total user-base on any website, unless it's small site, and that's done for very good reasons.

    I, personally do not see the changes you may be seeing, but from now on, if you're going to bother asking a question like this, at least put some detail in it so people know what you're talking about fully. That's one of the reasons I don't bother answering questions here anymore.

    Just because its not green anymore, doesn't mean its unusable. Some people on here need to get a grip.
