Why has the Answers page format changed?
It is entirely different now.
How do you find categories if you don't know they're there? This is not an improvement.
I see the trolls aren't having any problem getting in here.

Only Yahoo can answer the question properly.
What irks me is that Yahoo do not even bother to explain what they have done and why the changes
were made.
It is gross bad manners, but I guess that is a reflection of the times.

I am learning to navigate. I click on the main category at the top of a question (Society & Culture on this one) and then "All categories" to get where I want to go.
When yahoo Answers comes up it's fun to scroll down and answer questions in categories I might not normally go to. I hit "Answers Home" to get to that.

DON"T GET ME STARTED! It seems that everything in one's life changes far too much and the older we get the more bothersome it becomes. I hate it when Yahoo changes things without warning and without our approval. After all, if we all left Yahoo, then all the profitable commercials will leave with us and Yahoo will go broke and just be another flash in the pan! Am I right? You bet I'm right! HEY YAHOO! GET STUFFED!.............. Now I feel better!

I find the new double-line-spacing annoying, and strangely enough harder to read through. Few other problems too.
YA does make changes every blue moon, but the changes they make aren't the ones most needed (!) and often detract even more from having a good experience using the site.

Its easy to get used to, I found. Jmo.
Its a bit more "fiddly" but everything is still there, and once you get the hang of it, easy to negotiate. Not much anyone can do really, we just have to get used to it or not bother at all.
I really don`t know why Yahoo has to change things that aren`t broken, every now and then.

I don't know why they changed it, but it's worse than it was. I have to now to three steps to get into answers. It also takes awhile to learn it, but then when you do they deliberately change it again. I think they think it's funny to do this. I wish they'd change it back.

The same way you got here..I bookmark every categories I use and also my profile page also, just in case something like this happened.
I don't think they are done messing with it either.
Its one of their so called "improvement" that they think they have to do.
I wish they would change it back to the green format tho.
