How to change Yahoo classic to its original?

How do I change from the stupid new Yahoo email to the "classic" yahoo email?

  • Has anyone noticed how Yahoo has really gone downhill? I've used Yahoo for about 10 years, but lately it seems as if they fired all their good programmers, the new Yahoo mail really, really, sucks. Does anyone know a good email I could use instead? It will be a real pain, but not as much of a pain as using the "new" yahoo email is. It takes forever to load, the buttons don't work until all the ads are loaded, and that takes forever. It's a real shame, Yahoo used to be good, but it seems like they fired all their programmers and are using interns or h1 visa guys, anyone as long as they don't have to pay them. Everything about Yahoo seems like it's gone downhill, nothing works as well as it used to. I guess they're just trying to make as much money as they can no matter how bad it is for the users. Thanks

  • Answer:

    Please send "feedback" directly to Yahoo and tell them exactly what you have posted here-----otherwise they are gonna think everybody loves their new invention (big mess). Yahoo doesn't want you to go back obviously----but you can. Try this bit of trickery to (quickly and permanently) get back to Classic. Just lower the page "resolution" to the point where it won't support the Beta version and you will be asked if you want to switch to Classic as the "default" --(NOT the "one time only") (start>control panel>"appearances and themes" >display>settings>>lower it and click OK). You "may" be required to restart your computer. THEN-----Once you've gone back to and changed your mail page back to Classic---- go back to the control panel and return the page resolution to normal, (so things will continue to work smoothly.
