    Not you doing anything wrong...Another thing that has been taken away.

    The Country selection is still there BUT the option to see only questions from one certain country is what is no longer an option.

    That option used to be at the top of a questions list.

    First they took away the "This question was asked on" and now this, not good. It makes clicking a country flag a little useless now since all Q&A are now lumped together..

    You aren't doing anything wrong. Although there is still the "International" link at the bottom left of the page, it is now USELESS. Staff removed the ability to filter questions by specific country, so now everybody sees all the English-language questions, all the time. No way to differentiate unless the asker TELLS you in the question where they are from, or if you can tell by them using specific slang, etc.

    Just another way to force us to click every single question, so they get more clicks - and therefore more revenue from ads.

    No problem for me either. Is select UK and Ireland from the international menu and I only get UK and Ireland questions.

    You are not doing anything wrong. We are all getting the same thing. Y!A really is a load of rubbish now.

    I often find what is write with it is a better summation as once most intelligent questions received similar responses but often these days that is not the case (I guess some might argue this reply is case and point lol). Yahoo is not the company it was by any stretch of the imagination which might be partly responsible.
