We know how frustrating this can be and we apologize for the inconvenience. We appreciate your patience while we continue to make improvements to Answers.

We’ve received a lot of feedback regarding the quality of content on Yahoo! Answers. While we are continuing to find ways to attack trolls, fight spam, and filter and delete abuse on the site, we’ve also learned that a large portion of the complaints surrounding content quality really center around the need to customize and personalize what you see when you visit Answers on a daily basis.

So head on over to Yahoo! Answers!
