Q and A, the financial question and answer tool we launched on The Motley Fool back in October 2008, is coming to lovemoney.com tomorrow.

Answer: Q and A!

boom, boom...

Sorry, I couldn't resist the (incredibly bad) joke. But the news is true and it's very good indeed -- Q and A, the financial question and answer tool we launched on The Motley Fool back in October 2008, is coming to lovemoney.com tomorrow.

It's been a fair few weeks of heavy lifting, and we're not 100% done yet, but I've enough confidence in the project that I'm going public with some details.

First off, we made a few changes to the way Q and A works -- changes that reflect how people use the tool, and what they want to do. For instance, we've introduced categories to make it easier to sift through questions and find the type that interest you most. We've also got a recommendation system, so that if you like an answer you can recommend it, thereby giving props to the answerer. We've done away with resolving questions (no one seemed to like that), too.

Finally, we packed up six months worth of questions and answers and loaded them into the new interface (that's web-speak for 'the pages you use to ask and answer questions'), categories and all. So have a little think about what you'd like to ask, and check back here tomorrow afternoon... if all goes well, you should be able to ask it!
