Go back to the lat format NOW!!!
Why was the format changed without providing instructions? I can't vote or post comments on any answers or questions, even my own. This looks like it was written by the same people who wrote Windows OS.

Blocking - Remove ‘Answer’ button
If a user is blocked by the person asking a question then remove the Answer button for that/those users.
(It was that way years ago. )What a waste of time to compose an answer only to not be able to post it!
Since Anonymous questions and the current mobile format do not allow us to see the asker’s ID this would be helpful.

Make it easier to report and suspend problem users who harass others
People are getting away with harassment on a daily basis take this individual for example who is a long time user and has been getting away with this insulting and bullying for years he goes by LAN
https://answers.yahoo.com/activity/questions?show=j3Nh99eeaa
nearly every answer he gives insults the asker of the question and has been regularly violating community guidelines and terms of service and there is no way to contact yahoo about it
need more proof just look at his answer where he calls the asker stupid when they asked a real question and wanted real answers

Fix your glitches!!! On mobile version i can't change the category. When i click edit category, the process freezes.
Just make sure everything is working properly, no glitches or hold ups in asking or answering questions. A lot of answers don't appear on the question page as well, they stay hidden in the notifications panel, this glitch has been going on for maybe about a year.

Mobile version has a poor user interface.
I can no longer see questions from all categories.
I only have the choice of Notifications or individual subject categories.

Get rid of troll and spam questions.
Most questions I see on ya are troll questions about politics, religion, and blm. I have asked serious questions so many times but each question goes unanswered because these spam questions are clogging up ya and being promoted to the main screen. Can we please get rid of these troll questions and promote actual questions instead.

Return to the green design and taking serious measures against trolls, pornography etc.
Is the only way to regret the website to the normality.

Can you fix the new format so I can answer questions and ask them? Every time I click to answer it says the question is under review. Eve
Fix the new format so everyone can use it.

Allow us to block Anonymous answerers!
A lot of times, our questions are filled with troll answers who go Anonymous. This way, we can't block them and they continue to troll in our questions.
If we can block Anonymous users, this problem will be solved!

Add user's username and avatar beside the questions on the mobile site please
I like that I can see user's usernames and avatars beside their answers, but I want to be able to see who asked the questions too on the mobile site.

Anonymous questions - remove blocking
When an asker moves their question to ‘Anonymous’ any and all blocking should be removed for that question permanently.
You can add a confirmation button that informs the asker that blocking will be removed if you think it necessary to avoid mistakes.
The Anonymous feature is being misused in some sections as a trolling method.
With blocking active this allows the trolls to narrow by design the responses that will attach to their (loaded) question.
Since YA does not have the resources to police trolling this would provide a small mitigation.

Pop-up asks me to confirm that I want to leave the page after I answer a question.
Once I have answered a question, it should be obvious that I would want to leave the page - but it asks me if I really want to do that. Well, DUH! Now that I've answered, what ELSE am I going to do on that page?
21st rankedWe have just launched a fix for this issue. Let us know if the problem persists.
Thank you.

Please stop Pornographic pictures from being dumped onto Yahoo Answers. This problem is getting more and more horrific all the time.

Get rid of repeat offenders
Not just individual offensive posts. People are posting the same questions, totally off-topic, in the most offensive ways possible. They also go anonymous and abuse people who would otherwise block them. But they aren’t anonymous on your end. When a person gets reported over and over and it seems to you that the complaints against them are fair, get rid of them permanently.

get rid of the new emails for every answer to a question I answer
Getting a bunch of useless emails about a question I answered just clutters up my email box. I am not going to answer any more questions
