-
Here at Answers HQ our development teams are always hard at work building something new for the site. Every now and then put all these enhancements live for you, the Answers community, to enjoy. Today’s one of those days.
If you think the question page looks a little different then congratulations, it is: it just got wider. The category links remain on the right hand side leaving even more room for the detailed answers you continue to amaze us with.
We’re always listening to the needs and wants of you, the Answers’ community, so we hope you enjoy this page and we look forward to unveiling future developments across all areas of Answers, including enhancements to the ask/answer and reporting process.
As always we’d love to hear your thoughts on the new question page, so feel free to add comments here or on the forum.

To try our Community Moderation Quiz: CLICK HERE!
With the launch of community moderation last year, we provided a set of FAQs to address in depth some aspects of our community guidelines. Since successful community moderation depends on the community’s ability to report accurately, we wanted to be as clear and helpful as we could to make sure the rules were understood.
So we recently created a pop quiz as a refresher for the community and to help you gauge how accurately you are reporting abuse.
The quiz takes only a few minutes to read, and you might even find it fun. So check it out, and let us know how you did!

-
Roses are red, violets are blue, what on earth can I get my sweetheart for the 14th of Feb?
Well, the rhyme doesn’t quite go like that but it is the feeling for many of us as we look to shower our loved one with something special on Valentine’s Day. This year though, we have noticed that some of you in the Valentine’s Day category have been pondering this question for weeks now…
Roses and chocolates have become the staple gifts for many, but surely this becomes boring year after year? What other gift ideas can you share to our desperate Romeo’s in the Valentine’s Day category? There are many of us in need of inspiration.
Remember not all gifts need to come from a shop, E.D. here suggests taking time to share a movie together, or cook your favourite dish together. Meanwhile, ME!! came up with this idea to make a special CD for her lover. That is a true personal gift from the heart!
Being single doesn’t mean you have to miss out completely, this could be the time of year to take the plunge and ask someone out on that first date… If they did say yes though you have another dilemma - what would your ideal first date be?
Why don’t you start celebrating Valentine’s Day right now by connecting with Answers users? You could send love to those whose knowledge you admire or those people whose wise advice has enlightened your life. You can do so by starring a question or give a question or an answer a thumbs up and brighten someone’s day…
So, whatever the history of February 14th or what it means now, we want to send you Valentines greetings from all of us here at Yahoo! Answers.
