Notice something different?
You may have noticed the “We are working on some updates” messages on the Answers homepage recently. If you take a look at the question page, you’ll see one of the new enhancements—it’s now wider. The category links remain on the right side but now there’s more room for the detailed answers you continue to amaze us with.
We look forward to unveiling future developments across all areas of Answers, including enhancements to the ask-and-answer flow and the reporting process.
We’d love to hear your thoughts on the new question page, so feel free to add comments here or on the forum.

I cant see avatars! not even mine
I like the old format better this one seems falling on m face somehow
Cool, they small but neat little features. cheers for the update.
I believe that making YA! wider was an unecessary adjustment to the website. Usually when people answer the questions they don’t need as much room as you are providing us with right now. In my opinion I liked the old thinner Yahoo Answers better.
I would like to see a flag representing the country of the asker near their avatar and a way of determining who gives thumbs up or down.
I thought something was wrong with my computer! I like the update, but it still has a few bugs I see.
Well, I have to agree adding new updates will surely improve the site. Guess that this is the time to adapt ourselves to the new features;)
I like the wider box! Now my answers (which are mostly lengthy) won’t stretch like worm-like text in the page.
Thanks for fixing the TU glitch too!
Keep up the good work
I hate this new look. There was absolutely no reason for it. It just looks awful.
Now be honest…the extra room on the page is not for answers because the space is for more advertising! Not only is is distracting but it’s also very dissapointing. I appreciated the fact that Yahoo!Answers unlike many other forums kept advertising to a minimum.
I liked the old one, but ill adapt to this one too!
I really don’t like it. When you are typing a long answer, the words keep moving to the left and disappear so I can’t view what was previously written.
This sucks. Especially the fat annoying add on the right whenever I am looking at questions.
“Wider” looks like apcray!!! I often do other things and have 2 browser windows open, but not with the Y!A new stretched out version. I hope this is temporary. It’s definitely not an improvement. I think it’s unattractive, sloppy, sub-par web design. I guess others like it. Personally, I don’t see the point.
I don’t see why you did it. Cuts 1/2 the categories off. I use AdBlocker so if you were going to dump advertising there , go ahead.
I still refuse to check Yahoo news until you trash the lame 31 second NetFlix add. Find some other palce to get your revenue.
If we’re stuck with this wider version, how about moving the Home/Forum/Blog/Help links to the left so those of us who don’t like stretching out a browser window can get at them?
No offense,
I hate the wider page. I like the old one much better!
OemGEE! I don;t like the new wider page thing. The old one was a lot better. I see the advertisement is MUCH MUCH BIGGER!
I just asked a question as to how yahoo answers made money, since they had such low profile ads. Then an hour later, they bust out with these huge ads! That really is a shame. I enjoyed having something to do online without having to be bombarded with ads
When I’m in India Yahoo!Answers, among others, I don’t see a link to log out, have to go back to the US site. Am I not looking in the right place? Or can you only log out from the site you logged in on?
Cool, keep up the good work, just a suggestion though maybe someday you can change the appearance.
I like the thinner page better!!
No one needs that much room.
Sorry, I’m not really liking the wider page. It makes the whole layout looks unorganized and so unappealing.
Wayy too much room! I liked the old way better because they make it seem less distracting. i believed the so-called “wider update” was very very very unnecessary and was a waste of time and was not worth it!!! It was a bad choice(in my opinion) and please change it back!
The thinner layout was much better, this one is clearly just for more advertising, and now the page just looks cluttered,untidy, and things are scattered about.
Yahoo in general needs to clean up its act, as its just pushing many of its users further and further away.
The New Change Is Great. I Love It
Remember to move the REPORT IT button a little further away from the ANSWER THIS QUESTION button. Both buttons are too close to each other, which causes lots of errors, such as mistakenly reporting a question instead of answering it.
Once again, good job on the new changes
Dad
All I am saying is why fix something that is not broken? Uhem till you all broke it.
I don’t mind the wider screen, but I HATE the dang advertising! It reminds me of that horrible “GAP” ad that was running at Christmas time. I got so fed up with that &^#@$ thing that I quit coming to YA until after Chistmas. If this stupid thing stays; I might have to find a different site….
Honestly, I can’t say I like it. I think it’s a little annoying really. I thought it was just fine the way it was but now it’s just TOO wide.
I see all the new additions, that’s cool, real cool. But uh where are our avatars? I mean really, some of us take pride in making those, or finding the right picture to put in that square only to see nothing , or a blank face.
With all this new stuff going on why not implement some of the old and give our nams some meaning with out faces
I don’t like the new big page. What;s the point? There was plenty of room before for all the details i wanted to put in my answers.
I like it. it was time to see something new. more space gives more visibility, like the answer can ‘breath’ … and, yes, even advertising is more noticeable. Good job. Well done.
I am going to be honest but not a lot of people provide incredibly long answers. There is no real ‘need’ for this increased space. When a question receives many answers, a giant white gap appears on the right side of the screen making it look empty. Basically, in my opinion, it now looks more empty when you view a question.
I also see a few bugs, i believe their bugs. For instance, my avatar and many other avatars do not appear. If this is part of the update, I am going to say that I am sadly disappointed.
It looks good, just takes some getting used to. The avatars are still acting a bit wonky, but I am sure that is easy to fix. Keep up the good work!
Yeah, sorry Yahoo! but this really isn’t an improvement. What’s the big deal if the answer area is wider, the amount of space for an answer is still the same. Personally I liked it when it wasn’t as wide because I didn’t have to maximize my window to see the whole page.
I cannot see avatars once a question is answered, cannot see who has starred and I have wasted 10 points asking about that pale green bar that shows up on the left hand side and blocks 1st & 2nd answers.and when you give a thumbs up now it refreshes the page and takes you back to the beginning yuk! and you can’t thumb up more than one at a time- very discouraging
I believe this was an unnecessary enhancement. I like the old format better and wish the new change never took place.
As they say, if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it!
i hate the wider page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think these updates are gonna suck
Instead of making cosmetic changes, when will you fix the things that have been broken for ages? Like resolved / deleted questions still appearing in the Vote Undecided Questions category; a spell checker that works only 25% of the time; a search feature that actually searches and finds old questions; a way to stop trolls. Should I go on?
Quit changing the site so much! It’s a pain in the butt to ask and answer questions because now that the page is wider it is more difficult to navigate to the page we want. Sometimes my avatar doesn’t show up on the page (if any avatars at all). At least give us warning before you destroy the site.
And what was the deal with that 12 hour “breather” last week?
You can make more levels after level 7.Like a level 8,9 or 10.
No offense and I appreciate your hard work, but it pains me to look at the now obese site
I don’t know why but it bothers me
Plus for some reason, the advertisement on every page stands out a lot more
I hate the wider page!!! Change everything back!! I can’t see the avatars either, what the heck?
You have silenced me you evil Nazi worshipping Yamster!
no!!! why did you waste all of that time just making the page bigger? it didn’t change anything and there are still real problems to be handled!!!!
NO! Why did you change it? It looks awful. Why are you worrying about changing things that were fine, but continue to ignore the more serious problems such as trolls and undeserved violations?
Very good work. Ignore other comments
I’m not loving the new wider page so much, sorry! I think it makes it harder to navigate, especially on my laptop. It just looks like something is not quite ‘right’ with it!
Please bring back the old page format! Thanks in advance!!
im not liking the wider pages. it stretches it out so far that it is hard for my eyes to read the answers and questions. i would strongly recommend on changing it back. it was never a big problem to begin with.
Now, now, it’s not polite to say, “ignore everyone else’s comments”, all opinions are valid…
That being said, I am one of those against the change. When I first logged on, I thought something was wrong.
I agree with Mardigras:
(“I’m not loving the new wider page so much, sorry! I think it makes it harder to navigate, especially on my laptop. It just looks like something is not quite ‘right’ with it!”)
Kinda ugly, and not very… balanced…
I’d like the upgrades a lot better if the Y!A team could manage to NOT break things in the process. I now get a 404 error every time one of the ads tries to load on the right menu of the sub pages, and every time the ad tries to refresh, it counts as a “new page load” which means that if I want to use my BACK button to go from a question back up to the category, I have to hit BACK several times (depending on how many ads failed to attempt to load).
…and are they going to fix the problem with the Avatar pictures appearing in questions? 90% of the time all I get are grey boxes.
Sigh!
Yet MORE fiddling with the deckchairs on the Titanic!
I really find the wider page very awkward and tough on the eyes. Please go back to the previous page margins. Thanks!
well, obviously the “wider page” update has been done for the benefit of the advertisers not the Y/A users. please don’t pretend like you’re doing us a favor because the new look stinks to say the least. not to mention the pain and agony you had to put us through for the last week or so.
thank you Yahoo for nothing…. but again these guys are the only thing keeping you in business.
I hate this! I have to scroll vertically to see the whole page because it won’t fit in my browser. PLEASE change it back! PLEASE!
IM SURE WERE GOING TO LIKE THE NEW THINGS,BUT WERE DISGUSTED WITH THE COFFEE BREAKS AND THE BREATHERS,I MEAN ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.THIS IS MY OPINION.BUT IM SURE PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LIKE THE CHANGE,IT WILL BE DIFFERENT.THANK YOU.
Changes are always resisted. That’s not a problem for me. But when are you going to do something about the children on here reporting level seven users and getting their accounts deleted?
Ewww..i dont lik how it’s soo wide..change it back!!!!!!!!!!!!
When it works, it’s great. And, yes, the crashes that force you to put up the “Oops” page do slow me down, but it’s not as though I hadn’t to wait for a balky server’s techs to kickstart the server back into action. Apparently you already know what needs fixing, so get to it. And thanks in advance for an Answers system as good as technology permits.
I like the additional width for the answers. The advertising is quite polite but noticeable. You can listen if you’d like but it’s not forced. Well done! Please fix the link to the blog. It looks unprofessional to be taken to blog doesn’t live here anymore.
Jen
People love change don’t they. It’s cute. They didn’t like the new network at first either. Someone always has to grumble.
hmmm…don’t care about the wider window…but am disappointed that nothing is being done about the troll problems who are deleting and reporting questions for invalid reasons…just because they have multiple accounts.
I ALSO THINK IT SHOULD COST POINTS FOR A THUMB DOWN…maybe that will slow the trolls down a little.
How about spending some of that time to repair the gremlins in Yahoo 360?
Please change it back. This change is filled with problems. Color is confusing. My list of answered questions are hard to follow. Avatars are hidden. Very confusing. Please change it back. What happened to the “stars”? Are you paying attention to the feedback? Most comments seem to prefer the “old” format. Please change it back. Thank you.
The page is too wide now. I’m legally blind and this gives me a headache.
It would be nice if the section listing the Questions had the same format as the Answers section. At least there would be some uniformity to how Yahoo! Answers looks. Truthfully, I don’t like the wider look. It makes each line in a long answer harder to follow through to the next line.
However, time would be better spent on adding a few formatting options; perhaps in the form of a toolbox like the one use in Yahoo! Mail. That shouldn’t be difficult to import. An equation editor that can be used in the Math and Science section would also be nice.
WHY? I hate the way the page is so wide. I actually thought that this was a glitch, definetly not an improvement. Change it back please, there was absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Ah, great job, now why don’t you try getting rid of the stupid mouse next?
Wider means more room for answers, which may mean fewer dumb wraparounds when we (gasp!) use big words — or include URLs. I have to admit, this was never one of my high priorities. How about making it possible to change a thumb given by accident? Or teaching your spell-checker some more words. I HATE it when it forces me to say “ignore Depp,” for example. It doesn’t even know what a muggle is!
I hate the wider pages.It just looks so unbalanced. i also think you should seriously consider how posts are reported also.Many people are reported ONLY because the person doesn’t LIKE or agree with the asker, the answer, or just plain dis-likes the person. A lot of questions in elections are deleted ONLY because they gang up on people whose opinions differ from their own. Does y!A REALLY support one candidate over the other?? I mean REALLY?? I would like to know for sure.
it very cool and more spaces and more room to to questions clearly.
cool upgrades!!!!!!
OH! Interesting, NOW WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO STOP TREATING US LIKE 5 YEAR OLDS? or is being treated like adults only for level 5 and above.
ALSO quit upgrading yahoo answers and work more at eliminating so much spam i get every day. Or is it if i shell out 30 bucks a year… i get a higher level of filtering?
why is it wider
it’s much more difficult to read especially if the answer/question is detailed and long.
Why the huge disparity in frame and font size between the category/search windows and the Q&A window?
And, please don’t accommodate me by “inflating” the category/search windows and fonts, but rather by restoring the Q&A window to it’s previous size and fonts. Huge fonts do nothing other than waste screen real estate, which needs to be conserved.
I thought Yahoo! was “Going Green”, but this is unrecyclable waste …
I hate the wide window. The worse part are the larger adds on the right side of the page. They are extremely annoying and bother me when I am reading the question. Of course the whole point of changing to the wider page was to allow for the larger adds. The longer post ”lead” the eye toward the add. Clever but irritating
It is TOO wide. Everything is just STRETCHED out. It isn’t nice. I ntice the adds are BIGGER too.
I don’t like it at all. It’s too hard to read. Please change it back!
when you made it wider, it is just fine but i suggest for you to make the fonts larger because short answers look like occupying too much space.
please, fix also some problems in your network because i sometimes find issues in other yahoo services.
good day
I am sorry, but this is way too wide, takes up my whole screen.
Thanks
Kelly
In stead of making it look prettier, how about sorting out the trolls?
btw. I dont like the new look. It looks too blank and unbalanced.
Yes, please change it back to the way it was. Otherwise I don’t believe I will be able to continue.
auntb93:
That is why I do not use their spell checker.
Instead, I rely on the built-in spell checker in Mozilla Firefox.
But I am with you on the URL issue.
Currently I have to insert spaces into the address in order for Yahoo! Answers to display it.
Jeanne:
Forget about the Gremlins on 360.
It is not going to be fixed.
Yahoo! does not support it anymore.
Although the have mentioned that 360 feature will (maybe) be carried over into their new platform.
I hate the wideness too. It just makes things worse. WHY was this done? I barely have desire to read anyhting.
I am frustrated with the amount of resolved questions that show up when I want to vote on old answers. Please fix this.
I noticed the other changes. I really didn’t think they were needed.
I don’t like it like that. It makes it harder to read.
DAMN why did you make it wider? It’s like a cheap Widescreen TV picture with everything stretched and distorted. The first rule of customer service is if it aint broke don’t fix it.
Please change it back.
Such stupidity to make it wider. You’ve stretched the words so they are difficult to read. What idiocy. Why don’t you bring back the talking GAP ad and really make my day.
plz change it back
I really don’t like the new format. It looks awkward, please change it back.
Also can you please include a spell checker for when you ask a question. The current one only spellchecks the actual “tag line” of the question and not the details.
Whilst my spelling is usually excellent, everyone makes mistakes sometimes and i do not want people who answer my questions to think i am illiterate.
Thank you.
as someone who is visually handicapped, i applaud the wider screen…makes it easier for some of us to read…
I love the new way you have redone this page. Thank you for your time and effort!
The wider screen makes the lengthy questions easier to read
I’m not highly upset, but I don’t see it as a change for the better. I have to scroll now on my little laptop, always an irritation. I haven’t come back to this site much, since the change. I was hoping to see the former format today.
I agree that the wide screen doesn’t make it better >.<
Also, can you please add new categories to sports? Many people are asking for a gymnastics/cheerleading/tumbling section! I’ve written to ‘suggestions’, but it was ignored. I believe that if ‘snooker and pool’ can have a sports section to themselves, and ‘football’ can have FOUR sections, gymnastics should definitely get one, so should skateboarding and lacrosse.
The new format is fine with me. Some people just can’t accept change, can they? If this is all they have to complain about, then they should consider themselves lucky!
While I applaud the initiative to improve the technical aspects of Answers, I have to wonder about the why. The new wide screen is different, but I will get used to it soon enough..if I stay on Answers at all. “No new Q&A’s from your Contacts this week.” I am so tired of seeing this message EVERY time I sign in, even though I know very well my contacts have been asking questions. It seems that EVERY single time Yahoo does an UPDATE..the only real change we see is in constant malfunctions. Between the malicious reporting and Troll activity, and the seemingly constant problems coming from the ‘updates,’ perhaps it is time to find somewhere else to spend my time. I wonder how many others are thinking the same way? After all…the lack of information provided leaves a bad taste in my mouth, and I do know I’m not the only one. Maybe it might be a good idea to fix what is here first, before you ‘update’ or change anything else. But what do I know, I’m only a customer.
When did this change to a ‘wider’ screen coz i crnt tell the difference!
why dont you update it so you can do more things rather than just change the look of it make it so you can add more things to the profile and such bit more like bebo or myspace but with all the questions and answers! xxx
It’s nice that you are working on the site, but I don’t like the wider screen. It’s not better. The yahoo team should fix the site bugs first.
yahoo’s gained some weight…all thems coffee breaks? dont fix what aint broke. ya tried taht one before remember. fix it back…and make fizzdude stop trolling
I don’t mind the changes but these 999 page error is getting ridiculous!
Let’s get it together folks.
The new Y!A doesn’t even work for me now. When I click on a question, I get no pictures, no background, and no “new” layout. All I get is a column of blue blue words that are links. It looks like a webpage from 1996.
So for me, the changes basically mean I’m not going to use Y!A anymore. Thanks for the updates Yahoo, next time can you please make it so your Maps! no longer show streets?
WIDER is fine – but fix the spacing bug when you show/hide answers (that you have thumbed down/reported).
And don’t get me started on “Your Report Matter”…
>:(
Maybe you could slightly adjust the new “widescreen” look, so it doesn’t look poorly coded or something, because it looks…errr…stupid?
thumbs down indeed…
wider so that the MOST OBNOXIOUS ADDS are shoved in our faces.
wow…makes me want to go out and BUY!!!
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How’s about fixing the problem with report vigilantes?
These are people who may control several or even DOZENS of separate Yahoo Answers accounts. If they particularly dislike another user, they will use each account to report this user and this might cause their question or answer to be stricken, or if they’re determined enough cause a Yahoo Answers account to be “suspended”.
If you’re going to give the users the power to moderate themselves, you should invest more effort in ensuring that it can’t be abused by sufficiently OCD people with nothing better to do than sign on to each of their umpteen accounts to wage intarnet warz against someone they dislike.
Also, it would be nice if your customer service representatives didn’t ignore user requests as often as they seem to, so many requests for even a smidge of additional information about a violation or appeal go unanswered.
i think its fine. whats the big teal any way.
It’s horrible, it looks amateur. I though tit was another glitch, not an improvement.
There are still no avatars, and there is still a coloured bar obscuring some questions and answers.
I really don’t like the way the site has changed, it’s not aesthetically pleasing, and to be honest I’ve had enough. You tinker around making ridiculous alterations and it causes more problems than anything else.
Yahoo workers should fix the errors first. A few days ago I couldn’t even answer a question, because they didn’t even showed up and I had to refresh the page about 5 times.
The new look is ugly.
I don’t particularly care for the new look, but I wouldn’t say the look is a top priority. Yahoo! needs to fix the bugs and glitches before you worry about if your page is pretty.
Great – more room for advertisements nobody is interested in ! How about working on Customer Service and maybe giving us a phone number so we don’t have to wait three days to hear back about a complaint – like when a question gets deleted for no reason, then gets reinstated with no explanation why it was deleted in the first place ?
Now could you “work on” my request to be reinstated on Y!A? Has the layoffs left you short on staff?
I personally hate the new look. It’s confusing when on the front page, navigation is on the left but once you click on the question everything shifts to the opposite side, formatting gets all wacky, and the whole screen gets stretched out. I thought something was wrong with the resolution of my computer at first.
Change it back. :[
I really do not Like the wider page. I actually thought something was wrong with my layout. Maybe if we had the option to change the look? However, I suppose that would cut down on ad space wouldn’t it?
I also hate the way that if we get reported, that it deletes it without reviewing it. If you are going to let people moderate, then you should do your job, and make sure they aren’t just trolls.
I really like the other changes, but I feel like no one hears anyone complaining when they are valid points.
It took you this many days to change a few css files??
!!!
Things are pretty bad, from some of the comments. I can not delet or spam the mail, not even delete all of them. I can not even use the redo clock on the computer the last resort. Why don’t you leave things alone. I sat here all day yesterday, trying to figure what went wrong. I can not even see the news videoes! I thought I got ffished, and changed the codes, and if it is because you are changing things, go back to the old ways! I want my computer to work!!!!!
ha! i notice none of these answers have a thumbs up or down button… is that a glitch or is it because yahoo already knew what comments would be pouring in and that everyone would ‘thumbs up’ in agreement maybe?
i must admit that i have experienced no probs (so far, touch wood) where the revamp is concerned but i can certainly agree with the rest of the comments!!
good luck in resolving it all sooner rather than later xx
Thanks it look nice and better.
The “new” look is generic. When are the existing problems going to be fixed. There are also new problems, most likely created by the “improvement”. For instance, when you give a thumbs down or report, questions are minimized. When you expand them, the questions overlap making the entire page illegible. Also, why the change to the “in voting” page. Now there is now display of an answerer’s name. This means more and more people are “signing” there names to answers so they and friends can vote for them.
I hate the new one! Change it back to the normal one.
Yes, it’s now wider, but the right column disappears when I open my bookmarks on the left side of the screen (Firefox, WinXP, 1024×768 resolution). I can read the questions and answers, though, so that’s not a real problem. I just don’t understand why your designers didn’t make the page adapt to the browser window size. I mean the window your page is really in, not the full window, where a part of might be used for something else. Didn’t they consider that?
im not a fan of it I think you should change it back
and work on fixing the bugs before you update anthing else
I don’t like it…I had an answer that was getting the most votes on a question and when I went back to check it, someone else had ALL the votes.
So not just making changes, they’re screwing up everything.
I’m not impressed. Now, I just wish you’d fix the continuing problems that have been in existence for quite a long time. Dont you read your suggestion board? The report feature is continuously abused. Figure it out and fix that…and dont waste your time on updates that are useless.
i hate the new wider look…please change it back. it’s a pain having to side-scroll over the the “My Profile” link all the time…
Everyone knows that the new format truly sucks. There are even additional glitches now when reviewing your own questions.
Perhaps you yahoos should focus on what’s REALLY important in y/a: ADDING A FAQ BUTTON so we can get rid of the questions that get asked over 8,000 times. Get your priorities straight!
They’re definitely working on multiple account abusers. My wife & sons accounts got deleted, as we all use the same IP address. Since my account was the first one, Yahoo felt that they were trolls and deleted their accounts after 3 months w/o explanation.
Yahoo is now a true government, using blanket policies & rules to punish the innocent for the guilty’s actions.
I love it! It’s inspiring
I hate the new “wider” look! I thought it was another one of your gitches & it doesn’t look like an inprovement. If you want to update your site with better things, how about doing something that’s actually important? Like finding people who are constantly reporting the innocent people?
Please change it back!!!! People are quitting Yahoo Answers because of the reporting, abusing, etc and now I’m thinking I should quit going on here! I’ts not fair
its HORRIABLE at best. . i can’t conform it to my screen!What you REALLY ned to do is fix the numetrous glitches and reporting trolls on here.
You really need a moderator(s) to review befor pulling answers and questions that are clearly not violations.
Just because a person and his friend or another account doesn’t like it they get reported and then pulled without a review.
I love the new one! It is so much easier to read. (and no, I’m not blind! I have perfect vision, LOL) Keep it like this pa pa pa please!
The new layout is too wide… i seriously thought it was a bug in the site. It gives me a scrollbar when I’m using a computer at the library. The order of the answers is messed up, and the only thing this wider layout accomplished is BIGGER FATTER ADS.
I agree. Yahoo Answers has had too many “coffee breaks” and has now gained a lot of weight. Why don’t you instead fix the other problems you’ve had?
Oh and BTW, it’s ugly and buggy. The main Y!A page still uses the narrow layout.
To be honest with you, I HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE the new “wide screen” thing!!!!!! Its TERRIBLE! It makes the answers really hard to read and you took away the comfort of always having the same familiar format to come home to!!!!!! It is awful, all it does is make room for your ads, CHANGE IT BACK, PLEASE!!!
I don’t mind the wide screen but ever since the glitch a week or so ago I only see the grey sideview generic avatars on the open question page. I can’t TU or TD. I can’t see who starred my question. I can’t comment when I choose Best Answer. I HATE this and will probably leave soon.
It’s obvious this “change” was made purely for more advertising. It has nothing to do with “being able to see our answers better”. I find it really annoying and would strongly appreciate it if they change it back to the way it was. It’s just too damn wide.
Thank you Yahoo for making the screen bigger! I love having ads cover up my screen so I can’t read the question!
Maybe next time you should try working on some problems we’ve been talking about for a while, such as the trolls who come and report for no reason? Or maybe fix the fact that when you give a thumbs down, and enlarge it it covers up the screen, making everything impossible to read?
I hate it. I hate having to scroll to the right to hit profile. I thought there was actually something wrong with the settings on my computer. Change it back. Why do ya’ll insist on changing things? Bored? Are people complaining? Did someone actually say “God I wish Yahoo! would make the screen wider.”???
My avatar is not showing the correct picture even though it has not changed in my other Yahoo applications. What’s up?
I REALLY don’t like it PLEASE change it back to the way it was beforeee they was it was before, it was si much more simple!
So that’s how you repay us for enduring those harsh times when the YahooAnswers staff is taking a doze? That’s all you can come up with? You can do better than that! Come on, you’re YAHOO, one of the biggest and richest and most-patronized corporations in the world!
This is stupid! Change it back!
It looks much better now.
Good job =]
i really don’t like it, it’s too wide and it’s an eyesore.
I hate it!!!!!!! Please change it back!
It’s horrible. YUCK!! Revert back to the old layout. The old layout was much more easier to navigate through.
The new page format is not good at all because it has interfered with edit my info settings which caused the Yanswers mail service to be corrupted and not to send email.
I don’t like this format put it back
put back the avatars
You may have a wider screen
I don’t notice the change but
I notice a green strip covering answers what have you people got to hide.
Another grief
Your report matter
Yamster
get your act together
It is suppose to say your report matters
or if you are submitting more than one
your reports matter.
I like the part of the frowning when reporting
but smiling after report.
I have to go to libraries so I can see my avatar after I answer questions.
Plus there is some glitches because I can’t leave comments on resolved answers.
uhh yeah…the layout. Okay..so..it’s pretty. I certainly had no problem adjusting to it, and frankly it makes no difference to me. But these updates you have done..have totally screwed everything up..AGAIN. “Taking a Breather” “No Contacts have asked a question THIS WEEK” questions coming up as deleted when they have not been..”drat nothing here right now” I mean come on people, get your act together. It has gone way beyond the point of your customers being patient with your failure to communicate and apparent callous, uncaring attitude. You STILL have not even changed the link to the blog..
yeah it’s wider, but i think you guys just did that to have the Macy’s ad and others in the way, not to make “improvements”, am i right? it sucks, if we can’t close the ads, put back the old format
Hi! I was surfing and found your blog post… nice! I love your blog.
