Y! Answers news (15/03/09)
Hey Yahoo! Answers community,
It's been a while since I pointed out some of Yahoo! Answers newest updates, so here is a low-down on this weeks news:
We're number one...
That's right! After seven months of waiting Yahoo! Answers staff have managed to rectify the Yahoo! Answer leader boards which shall now continue to update at least once a week. Have you made it onto the new updated lists ?
Yahoo! Answers is unavailable ?
A few users have commented about seeing the Yahoo! Answers is unavailable error message when trying to ask and answer questions. This message appears due to an error occurring when your computer tries to connect to the Yahoo! Answers server. If you see this message, use the page back [go back one page] function on your browser and then the forward function. Your answer / question should still be present and you should also be able to proceed with posting your content.
Another glitch with Yahoo! 360 images as avatars:
Some users have also stated problems with trying to upload a custom image within Yahoo! Answers for use as an avatar. At present Yahoo! Answers staff have yet to comment on a fix or what may be causing this issue. More information shall be provided when it's known. In the meantime, keep checking out the Yahoo! Answers staff blog and suggestion board.
Know sometimes I don't ? Please drop me a line.
All the best

Weekly community news
Well it has been a while since we last had one of these
Here is the low-down for last week
Y! Mail - Where are you ?
As many of you have noticed, Yahoo! has opened up some new domains with the introduction of 'Ymail' and 'rocketmail'. Use this opportunity to bag a name that you really want. A few users are still looking into the potential fact that Y! Answers staff could have used this opportunity to alter the current staff mail accounts. At present I have yet to hear any developments on this matter, but you can always use the suggestion forum regardless if you need help from the staff.
Y! 360 image problem - still at large
Some users have issued reports that the glitch concerning the inability to use custom images as avatars in Y! Answers is still present. It is said that users have had to wait around four days before the system 'catch up' and displays the image. Staff have been told, so keep-up-to-date on any developments at the suggestion forum.
Why was that featured ?
The Y! Answers editorial staff have been busy, and have produced a third edition of 'why was that featured' displaying some of the top finds in the community this last month. Did you make the list ?
It's not been the most busy week, but anything could happen. Please note that Chεεrs shall not be within the community from the 27 - 4th (June to July). I can see be reached by e-mail is needed.
All the best

This week in the world of Yahoo! Answers
Yahoo! Answers UK & Ireland blog
Well the Yahoo! Answers UK team have been busy, and the Yahoo! Answers UK & Ireland blog has finally be unleashed into the community. The blog can be read here, and contains some hints and tips and new product information.
We're number one...
Yahoo! Answers UK & Ireland was awarded the title 'Number one website' by Hitwise, based on the growing community and the quality of content provided by the community. The staff of Yahoo! Answers have posted a small thank you in the team blog.
A double whammy
We have had two officials joining the community this week. Stefan Effenberg asked the community, "Given the pace of the modern game, do we need two referees on the pitch? If so, why ?" The question is still open so why not get your opinions and ideas seen within the community.
Our second question comes from Greg Strause, a Hollywood Director who asked the community, "What could Hollywood do to make it's films even better ?"Does Hollywood even make the best films ? Have your say.
Yahoo! Answers Staff are at it again
Once again Ask Mike has been racking his brain for a good question for the community, and as always he hasn't failed to disappoint. This week Ask Mike asked the community "How do fire hydrants work ?" There isn't a lot of time left to answer the question, however Ask Mike has summarised some of the best answers in the staff blog.
Finally don't miss the Yahoo! Answers staff "Do you like my avatar blog" which is very useful at explaining a commonly misunderstood community guidelines.
That's all for this week

Time for the latest news
It's the luck of the Irish
On Monday 17th, yahoo answers celebrated St. Patricks day, and once again the community failed to disappoint by asking many questions concerning the holiday. One community member was keen to establish what is St. Patrick's day all about, and luckily the community were able to help in the matter.
One asspect of St. Patrick's day that had yet to understand was the tradition of wearing green, but this fantastic question asked byRebekah W answered my querry. I hope you had a great celebration.
Ask Mike keeps the community cool
Yes he's done it again and has asked the community another brain teaser. "Do the drawers in a refrigarator actually do anything?!" Well I would sure like to know and you may know the answer. The qeustion is still open so why not help Mike out.
¢hεεrs takes a break
From Friday to Monday (21st-24th) ¢hεεrs shall not be 'serving' the community. I shall be on holiday (vaccation) during the Easter bank holiday. The good news is I shall still be answering your emails so send them in if you have any question, comments or if you are simply bored.
Know something I've missed ? Why not sent it in... I can be emailed from my yahoo answers profile or look out for ¢hεεrs [uk] within the yahoo answers category.
All the best

Yahoo! Answers news for this weekHave you taken the new community moderation test ?
How clued up are you on the current community guidelines, well why not put your money where your mouth is and take the yahoo answers community moderation pop quiz and see what score you get. Sadly there are no prises, but you can comment on the quiz and found out how good (or bad) other users did in the yahoo answers staff blog.
An event banzai !
Today the 12th March is no smoking day, if you forgot then it's a good thing the community were ready to bombard the community with questions from how to dispose of cigarette lighters to finding out the best methods to help kick the habit altogether . Why not check out the official no smoking day website to learn further information.
That's not all. We have sports relief on March 14th & it's the luck of the Irish on St. Patrick's Day, call coming up on the 17th March. Look out for featured questions and information on these events in next weeks community news.
An update on the top ten category issue ?
Last week we reported that the top ten category leaders were failing to update. A week on and the issue is still present, however staff have been alerted to the issue and 'hope it shall be resolved shortly'. Keep up-to-date on this one in the yahoo answers suggestion forum
