Has the custom question feed been removed?

Years ago I got tired of all the trolling and spam so I stopped using the site. Then I found I could customize my question feed to only show the categories I was interested in answering.

Since their last update, that feature has been gone. Is it working for anybody else?

Update:

It's evident this feature wasn't used a lot.

Before the update you could click the "customize feed" button and pick what categories show up on your feed so you didn't have to go check categories individually.

It's easy to still get to the categories.

Update 2:

The feature just started working again, so it seems it was the old bug that would break it from time to time.

    What you're talking about is not a "customized feed". In a category there is a "customize feed" button under the category listing.

    You are talking about the category listing previously on the left. It's a change made by Yahoo for unknown reasons or duration. Click a category, click on "all categories" to see all of them and choose from there. It's not rocket science. I hate this layout like everyone else, but there's nothing anyone can do about it. So either learn to deal, or use another website for a while.

    Nope, I liked the categories, I could choose what type of questions on subjects i could answer, this is not working for me, I don't think many users will like this change.
