Yahoo Answers is shutting down on 4 May 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Why can't the new answers system only show me UK questions. Wading through all the international stuff is a pain?

    Because that is how Yahoo decided to run the site now. Their site, their choice. With fewer filters and choices, we have to do more clicking. And more clicking means the site appears to be busier, so more advertisers will be interested in buying ad space. Which is the entire bottom line here - more revenue for Yahoo, not customer satisfaction on a tiny FREE part of the site.

    I always kept the filter at "All English" before. So long as the question is in English then thats fine for me.

    Remember Americans,Australians,etc also have to put up with UK posts. Its just one of their many changes that I must admit have strained the loyalty of many long time members.
