Sorry guys for the last minute notice, but the scheduled maintenance will be from 4.30pm – 8pm approximately today!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi folks,

Our engineers will be performing regular maintenance on Yahoo! Answers on Wednesday (12 Nov) and Thursday (13 Nov), at 4.30pm.

We expect the work to last about 3.5 hours and Yahoo! Answers will be totally inaccessible during this time, except for the blog of course. :)

Sorry for any inconvenience caused! We’ll keep you posted if there are any changes to the schedule.

If you are looking for something else to do during this time, why not check out some of our sites such as:

  • Flickr (now with video)
  • Groups – Connect with people who share the same passion
  • Avatars – Play around with your avatars and give him/her a new outfit

…. or maybe you can check out what is showing in the cinemas near you!

Answers and this deserves a big cheer! But sometimes it’s hard to feature these brilliant Q&As as…. yup, we’re missing the avatars! It is visually unexciting to see two gray silhouettes on the main page, hence even though the question asked may be really interesting, and the answer given may be really detailed and to the point, we won’t be able to feature them. :(

We’ve noticed that many of the users do not upload either an avatar or picture to represent themselves, and instead, just uses the default gray silhouette. It is actually very simple and fun to create your own avatar. And you can even use the same one for the Yahoo! Messenger.

So why don’t you give it a try at Yahoo! Avatars and create THE avatar that captures your personality and spirit?
