Question about filing online

[HappyG 13]

I know these questions have been addressed before, but wanted to hear your recent approach about them. Started filing the online form for N400 based on the 3 years rule but all the questions about previous addresses, work places and trips outside of the states are formulated to include information for the last 5 years. Did you just provide information for the last 3 years and ignored the fact that is telling you that you missed some time line or you went and completed the questions for all 5 years? And especially the question if we have made any trips outside of the states for the last 5 years. I haven't made any since my last entry in 2015 and becoming a permanent resident in 2016. So do I just say "no" to that question keeping in mind that i am filing under the 3 years rule and haven't left the country since obtaining my green card or do i say "yes" and include the time stamps that I was outside the country before my last entry? Looking forward to hear about your experience with the online application.

The system wont allow you to continue or submit the application if you will only provide 3 years since the system requires 5 years of information.

On my case I provided my old information back in my country 2 years plus 3 years here in the US being permanent resident and no issue at all during interview.

interesting  question as you do not travel outside the US until you are here and if you hadn't come in yet why would you need to respond to the years before you came

As per as I remember, I put 5 years address history 3 inside USA and 2 outside USA, BUT for travel, only last 3 years and it accepted.
