  • Who is responsible for the "show more..." text, when you try to see a question here on Y!A?

    When you selected a question to answer, you used to see the whole thing. Now you have at most two lines and then.... show more...

    I DON'T have a teeny-tiny little tablet screen. I have a vast 22" (on the diagonal) type monitor, with on-screen real-estate to spare. I'm not interested in pokey-wee screens that you have to squint at, in a certain light to try and see what's happening in the world. I have my PC, that is that!

    When I want to answer a question, I WANT TO SEE THE WHOLE QUESTION, EVERY TIME! I'm all for technology and new things - this move is a step backwards. Yahoo!Answers used to show the whole question - now I need an extra on-screen click.

    It's not a matter of being lazy - it's the insistence of Yahoo that you do more work - therefore they can hit you with more advertising....GURRRRRRRR!

    I've decided not to click the "show more..." text, so some of my answers will be incredibly strange in future.

  • Can you separate Yahoo Mail from Yahoo Answers?

    I've had my Yahoo since about 1997 or so. I suppose I may have drifted into the Yahoo Answers community around 2003. Now I want to separate the two because I'm frankly bored with Y!A.

    Is there a way to separate these two, or should I just shut down both?

  • Scientists appear to have found the fountain of youth?

    If newspaper reports are to be believed, scientists have located the fountain of youth. A chemical injection can lead to the growth of young-looking skin cells - effecting rejuvenations in old people.

    How would you feel about hanging-out with your granny or grandad? Could you teach them how to talk like and with the kids of today?

    How about having to share some of your toys - like the latest console platform? How about the competition aspect when chasing girls (and boys)?

  • I have just inherited a Wii (the original machine). Any suggestions for good games to play on it?

    My nephew will be upgraded to the PS4 come Christmas. My sister has given me the old Wii machine and a few games - involving Sonic and another involving the Toy Story characters. I've never been bothered about gaming before, so need advice on decent games on this platform.

    I've played a few games before, but prefer something like AOE II on the PC.

  • How do you assess the worth of a stock?

    What range of data should I seek to gather and analyse when comparing one stock against another?

    There seems to be a vast flood of raw intelligence out there, but which is the more important when considering making an investment?

  • HOW DO I DELETE MY YAHOO ANSWERS ACCOUNT?

    I'm getting a bit p'd off by Yahoo Answers and want to delete my whole string of answers.

    I feel I have made a decent attempt at answering (or at least attempting to answer) questions, yet seem to be censured by a despotic system which apparently offers absolutely no right of appeal!

    I realise that Yahoo Answers are building up a base of knowledge, which will be used in future to make Yahoo a better, more responsive product.
