I've been less active on Hubpages in the past month, and I just now noticed that the category "resquests' has disappeared and seems to have been supplanted by another category called "answers". How did this come about, and is there more to it than just a name change?
I have been wondering about this too.
Also, how do we access the Unanswered Idea Bank?
Aya, where you see "answers" you will see that in smaller letters there is "view questions", which you can click on. That's instead of the old requests. You can select whether you want to just add a shorter answer or write a Hub.
Ivorwen, If you click on "view questions" you'll get to the page where the ideabank is over to your right-hand side.

But if the category is questions (or answers to questions), do you have to have it phrased more specifically, such as: "What were the most important contributions to world history by Ghengis Khan?"

I know this isn't a suggestion for a new feature, I'm suggesting the removal of one, but this seemed the best category for my post and the most likely location for it to be seen by a staff member.Can we all think back to January of 2011 when Hubpages traffic was decimated by the original Panda...

Quick questions on new Q & A:First, I'm just curious about on average how long people's responses are. We've talked about making answers longer for quality and ranking purposes but I am not writing most as anything close to as long as a hub.Second, in regards to length - if I do write an...
