For some reason, it does say the custom display was made available, but it's not showing, don't know why.
"Custom display"? Where does it say anything about that?

Okay, it looks like it was fixed now, it says it on the main page for the title now.
IS this a shout-out? When Yotsuba meets Miura for the first time, and is puzzled because she's wearing those shoes with wheels on the bottom, Yotsuba stares at her and says "What ARE you?" Miura replies "What are YOU?" Predator anyone? Someone with more knowledge of Japanese than me would have to check out the original and see if that's the orginal intent though...

It's just Yotsuba being her usual curious self (“it's a thing with wheels on feet” or other such gibberish) and Miura being her usual blunt self (“what the heck does the kid want?”, pretty much).
Asagi is Tall, Dark and Bishoujo, Ena is a Brainy Brunette and Yotsuba is cute girl.

I've found that since Yen Press started releasing Yotsuba& that I don't find it as funny as I used to. I put it down to Yen Press using a different style of translation. Does anyone agree? is it just me.
Given that the translator from Volume 2 onwards at ADV was Amy Forsyth for at least half its run, and she was retained by Yen Press right up till her death after completing Volume 9 (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=12680
"), it's the SAME translation for half the ADV volumes. The change would be in the editing, and the emphasis on using more childlike language for Yotsuba (she doesn't speak like an adult anymore), rather than a change in the translation STYLE.

I can't speak for your opinion on humor, but I did notice that Yen Press does things a little differently. I have the ADV Vol. 1 and 7-9 in Yen Press and I noticed that the latter keeps the honorifics intact. Yotsuba also tends to refer to herself in the third person. It stands out for me because I can't think of a single anime that allows these two things to make it past the dubbing process. I guess it's easier to use them faithfully to the original when you can leave footnotes explaining what they mean.
Personally I prefer the yen press version. Maybe I'm being a purist snob, but I like that they're sticking closer to the original.

Could Yanda be considered Yotsuba's Nemesis... Or at least a major pein in her ass (Which trope would that be?)?

Can someone here tell me how you edit the title of a page so that typing "Manga / { { Yotsuba } }" (minus the spaces) will always result in the "&" and "!" being part of the link, instead of needing to do "[ [ Manga / { { Yotsuba } } Yotsuba&! ] ]"? I have some other pages that I've created (namely Nyanbo! and OnTaMaRaMa) that could use some similar changes
