Anybody know of a site that is more like the old yahoo answers?

[Brad B. No. 5]

This "new" layout, I never thought would last as long as it has, and frankly f***ing sucks donkey d**k.

However, I used to frequent this site more often, and now want an alternative. Any other suggestions?
@cat: thanks. just added that to my bookmarks.

I agree with you and I sent a email to yahoo complaining about the new answers and the Yahoo mail.They remind me of Microsoft,they figure change is what is needed regardless how the user feels. I ask yahoo to do a survey of yahoo answers users and if the survey shows that most don't like it they should change it back.Fat chance of that.
Thank you very much cathugger for the link

There is nothing that resembles the old Yahoo Answers. And I seriously doubt Yahoo Answers will be a contender in the top ten Q&A sites much longer as I agree with your assesment of what Yahoo Answers has become (in the name of progress). I looked and came across this site: http://www.inspireyourway.com/best-quest...-websites/ And they have Yahoo Answers in the #1 spot as of May 6, 2013. Lets bet and see how long it takes for them to not even make a top ten list.

Yahoo seems to think new = better, but many, many complaints would indicate otherwise.
Almost every server is now in the new format, but one method to pare down the extraneous junk is to change your "user agent" to a "mobile" platform.
"User agent" is a header text string, and how the browser identifies itself to the server, so it knows what to send back to you for display purposes.

Firefox has the add-on "User agent switcher" http://chrispederick.com/work/user-agent-switcher/ , and for mine, I've designated Mobile> "Firefox/Fennec 10.0.1".
It actually removes a bit more than I'd like, but if I use the system/browser/default (Linux-Firefox 20.0) the window is one huge mess and no satisfactory way to clean things up.
I haven't tried all the agent options to see if there's one that's just right, but I'd rather have a lack of display, rather than a jumbled up mess.
Flipping back is a simple matter when moving to other sites that function OK under 'default' user agent.

Not an ideal solution, but until Yahoo gets it right (if ever) that's one solution.
I also use the mod's described here to remove advertising, and constrain automatic 'fetch-and-deploy' behavior: http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/question/ind...202AA4cljP
