    I am almost positive that Yahoo answers used to be a live link in the source box.

    Now, the links are not live and the person has to copy and paste.

    Is this a "new and improved" feature?

    Well that way people will not have as much incentive to spam Answers, I have never used it for legitimate purposes before. There are better ways to get traffic anyway.

    Yeah it's no more a live link for Level 1 users.. I don't know about Level two if they could post live
    links on the source box.
    That is one way to prevent Spam answers..

    The Yahoo Answers links could be very great in terms of traffic but may not bring magical results when you take a look at them from SEO perspectives.

    The thing about Yahoo Answers is, if you add a link or mention a website in any formation you'll wind up getting suspended and then possibly even an IP Block :/

    The Yahoo Answers process is a good process for increse the visitor,but Answers should not be sily...Answers should be correct.

    It's just to stop spam. If you want to use Yahoo! Answers to target traffic, then answer questions until you reach Level 2. It's well worth it depending on your niche.

    The good thing about Yahoo Answers is just that it is targeted traffic. You know that they want your site because they are asking about the products you have answers to. Also, Yahoo Answers is Gold with Google. Anytime you Google a question the top ones are Yahoo Answers, so you can get a lot more visitors than just the one with the question.
