Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now in read-only mode. There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.
Whenever I log into Yahoo Answers, I get taken to Yahoo! Philippines Answers?
WHY???? I'm going crazy trying to find whatever setting is somewhere burried deep in my profile that is causing this. I'm a US user, i have paid Y! Mail Plus, etc. Please someone, get me home to US!
Thanks for the tip however that doesn't change anything permanently. Sure, I can click on the US flag down bottom which does take me to the US answers page, but next time I log in, I'm right back to the Philippines.
Again, thanks for your answer but...
Yes, I do go to "ph.answers.yahoo.com" and I get that I can delete out the "ph" or click on the US flag at the bottom. But this only temporarily changes things.
For instance, if I get an email telling me to check out an answer to my question, I click the link and it takes me to philippeans. Something in my profile is telling yahoo that when I sign into Anwers, take me to the PH version.
Even if I type in answers.yahoo.com, eventually, sometime in the session, i'll be taken to PH.
Anyway, I appreciate the advice but I know how to temporarily change the situation, I need to know how to stop Yahoo from thinking I want to go to the PH version when I log in.
Nothing is cached in my browser either, and I don't use a bookmark that could potentially have the PH in it.

Look on the address bar of your web browser. You should see something like this:
That is the address of Yahoo Answers Philippines.
The address of Yahoo Answers U.S. looks like this:
Basically, you take out the "ph." So, try entering the link into your address, making sure the URL starts with "http://answers..."/
If this fails, try going to the "answers international" tab at the bottom of the page. You will see links to versions of yahoo answers optimized for various countries. Click on "United States".
