what ever happened to the notifications section above all categories. Were the answers too much for the people to bear?

Notifications is available from your profile page.

It took me a few minutes to figure out that when you press on your name, right up to the top left hand side, a window appears and gives you the choice to view your profile. There, you see notifications.

Most annoying, but there you go, that is yahoo answers for you.

Click on the bell............

another Yahoo so-called improvement just ring the bell took me about 2 minutes work it out i thought it was just another Glitch

You now need to click on the bell icon on the top right to be brought to that page. I don't know why these people keep playing with things that work instead of fixing the things that don't!
