Chεεr's e-mail of the week
Okay! I can't actually promise I'll feature an e-mail every week, but here is an little insight into the world of Chεεrs
" Hey Ch33rs
I'm sorry but I don't know how to type your name. I was simply wondering why you have changed your avatar and what does it mean? I have seen you around the site a few times and was wondering if there was a reason. Thank you "
Name withheld at author's request, edited for grammar purposes.
Well, seeming as you asked so nicely. I simply felt like change. Don't get me wrong, I love my Yahoo! Avatar, however I was feeling a little 'metaphoric' when I selected this image, which is based on the concept of 'following the leader', that or a group of females stalking Mr. Red man...
It's a nice little image, but look out for my Yahoo! Avatar which shall be back next week

What's new ?
Did Yahoo! Answers put on some weight or is that my new flat screen monitor ?
Yahoo! Answers has had a slight face lift, but is it too your liking ?
Many users have realised that Yahoo! Answers has extended beyound the normal width, and questions and answers are now being displayed in widescreen. Staff have confirmed that this was a new design to allow for longer answers, but not all users are so keen on the new look.
Post your comments concerning the new design at the Yahoo! Answers staff blog.
In the meantime, look out for a new reporting system, estimated to be released in June / July, based on staff comments within the suggestion forum.

Oppsss.... Breather
No need to panic guys
A lot of users have worked out that Yahoo! Answers is acting a little odd as of lately, with 'Drat, No Question' and 'We are taking a breather' messages appearing frequently.
It would appear that more details are to follow shortly in the Staff Yahoo! Answers blog however in the meantime there is no need to ask questions on the matter. The Yahoo! Answers homepage current states:
"We are experiencing some unexpected downtime and are working to fix the problem. We're sorry for any inconvenience."
Staff are aware of the issues and should have them fixed shortly

Featured question
A perfect world
Once again it's time for a featured question, this time from user Special Agent Matt Tress. Matt has gone all out to ask a very opinionated question, based on today's society which is, "How can we live in a society without weapons or drugs?".
Matt, who states that "he is a regular user of Yahoo! Answers with a concern for the world". I'm sure Matt would love to hear your views and answers on the matter, the question is still open for answers using the link above.
Chεεrs found this question appealing as it is a topic which effects many people yet it rarely talked about. How best can society help remove substance abuse ?
A great question Matt, thank you
Chεεrs
