Are others suffering from the new Yahoo Answers? How can I get at specific questions and answers I have worked on in the previous format?

    The might actually be the end of Answers for me. Being here is now pointless.

    Click on you E-mail address which is now displayed top right, which comes up with your questions, then click on "my answers" and all will be revealed.

    You can then click on the categories and see your own and other new questions within them as per the old system.

    Hopefully this is a temporary fix, regards, Bob in Telford.

    Yes, suffering. Can't maneuver through the questions easily because they are no longer highlighted as having been previously viewed. I may stop using Yahoo Answers.

    I'm not suffering, but I am completely baffled why they thought things needed to be changed in the first place. On the Y/A home page you can email the Y/A Team. I intend on doing that if this BS remains and I hope everyone else does too.

    Yea this sucks, pretty much the 'last straw' for me, can't even find sections anymore.

    They have left the stuff you have answered the same, not sure if it's in the same place on everything like the app and various browsers, themes etc, but you just click your ID as you did before, i think, if they haven't changed it or change it at some point or rolling 'updates' so i can see them but other people can't.

    These updates always make me sound like a nut job. lol

    I think they messed up the update, they supposed to have had it so the categories are at the top, i think, this is yahoo after all.

    I have tried two computers, and two different browsers, and what I am seeing suggests that some clown has completely wrecked the Yahoo Answers website. A friend has also told me he has the same problem.

    I can no longer look at specific sub-categories and even categories are fairly difficult and seem to be poorly sorted. I cannot find any questions I have asked or answered.

    Am I missing something, or have they cocked up the site completely?

    Yes, today my format has changed and I can only see questions from on topic, there used to be a side bar on the left side with all the topics, it is gone.
