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

Could suspensions be a thing of the past?

Following a recent request for timed suspensions it does indeed appear that staff members are looking into the idea. For many this is a sigh of relief which could result in accounts not being fully inactive from the community. Should we see any developments in the near future they shall be posted.

The community bids farewell to Yahzmin

It has been confirmed that user Yahzmin wishes to leave the community. As one of my longest contacts within Yahoo! Answers, I personally wish to bid farewell to one of the most experienced, kindest and knowledgeable person I have met on the site. Many others share such sadness, however we wish Yahzmin all the best for the future and hope that she may have not totally abandoned the community forever.

Another question from Ask Mike

What do you like best about your hometown? With the question closing in little under nine hours why not voice your opinion or simply await the best answer to be chosen. Further information can be found on the topic.

Top ten categories updating

And finally, several members of the community have commented that some of the top ten user categories appear to not be updating. Staff have been made aware of this issue however there has been no news concerning this matter.

Remember for all the official goings on remember to read the official Yahoo! Answers Blog

All the best
