1 big reason... why the hell is there no category section? That's the main feature for "answer" people is to find their category then jump into it... now I have to click a useless category/question and meander my way back to my category of choice.
I know, it's a silly small thing, but there's always other sites I can go to to answer specific questions (yes, not as "all encompassing" or diverse as Y!A, but for example I could go to Quora and rummage a section easily). It's just the fact when making webpages, or services in general, if you're service isn't easier than the next guys, guess where your customers are going... the other guy because his **** is easier.

WTF oh my gosh noooooooo, it looks really really bad. Just got on and it has changed a lot what the heck have they done with it?! It looks worse then it was. Comments are grey.
Seems like my email is working again though but yep Y!A as glitches sadly. Problems haha when don't they have problems :P
Add on: It is strange how Home, Notifications and my profile where on left hand side BUT now they are above Ask a Question.
But where is all the categories and countries gone?? you know how they where under Home, Notifications and profile as can't find them now :/
Also I do like my profile as just looked at it, I like how the pic is bigger than it was.
Could be a glitch or they are changing layout once again!! Maybe a way to get rid of MORE users!

I don't know. Yahoo is trying to put in new feature and stuff on yahoo answers. Just causing problems. Yahoo needs to leave yahoo answers alone.
