We've got a few announcements about changes to the website over the next week or so.

To keep The AnswerBank moving forward into the 21st Century, we will be making a few changes to set live on the 6th April, the start of the 2016 tax year.

Quicker Answers For Everyone



With the announcement that Twitter will be increasing their character limit from 140 character to 10,000 characters we've spotted a gap in the market.

In an endeavour to get you quicker answers, we've decided to make them shorter with the addition of a 140 character limit. This way, your answers will be quicker to read and you’ll be able to answer two questions in the time it used to take to answer one! Using this estimate, The AnswerBank will be twice as good as it is now.

Avoiding Long-running Arguments On The AnswerBank



To acknowledge the division between dog lovers and cat lovers, we will be creating separate sub-sites for each:

cat.theanswerbank.co.uk
dog.theanswerbank.co.uk

These aren't up and running yet, but will be as soon as we've collected your bank details.

Premium Experience



As of 6th April, when logging into The AnswerBank for the first time, you'll be greeted with a slightly different screen, giving you the option to choose either a 'cat' or 'dog' version of The AnswerBank, or neither if you prefer. This is to avoid tired old spats being repeated more often than we like.

The direct debit will be charged based on the number of removed questions or answers.

To access these new platforms, you'll simply need to set up a direct debit account with The AnswerBank, details of which are to follow. We feel as though keeping these pages behind a paywall will keep them exclusive to the serious ABers, and reduce the risk of non 'dog' or 'cat' related chat.

Accessibility For All



Additionally, in our tireless efforts to improve accessibility for The AnswerBank we will also be providing a left-handed version. We think there just aren’t enough sites out there that consider the needs of a left handed user. So simply visit left.theanswerbank.co.uk to begin using the new site. This works best on a left-handed smartphone, but for those with a regular model, you can simply rotate the device 180 degrees before visiting the site.

We’re excited to put these new features in place!
