It seems the consensus... the new format SUX! Yahoo! received tons of feedback saying as much but like the new yahoo! mail it was decided that if you shove it down their throats they will swallow. SWome users have decided to spit it back & sell stock & cancell their accounts. Hopefully we'll see the switch back link reactivated but I won't hold my breath. Yahoo!'s press release stated it believed this new version allows for: -Custom-designed modules with more of great content from select publishers (such as New York Times, People, Wall Street Journal, etc.) -New and improved Yahoo! modules, including Top Picks from Your Page, Flickr, Note to Self, To Do List, Movie Showtimes, Scoreboard, Stock Portfolios, TV Listings, Calendar, Yahoo! Buzz, etc. -New modules that provide access to third-party services (i.e., Netflix, Gmail, POP mail, Facebook) -New header with easier customization tools for adding content and choosing options, as well as tabbed browsing for multiple pages -More control, with additional page layout options, a less intrusive advertising approach, and easy drag-and-drop functionality ...basically nothing users asked for. But Yahoo! believes the new version will "deliver open, industry-leading platforms that attract the most publishers and developers." UGH I HATE IT!!!!

The 'classic' pages have all been removed, and the 'new' pages don't seem to be working for anyone. I must say, I'm a bit jealous of the people complaining their fonts are too small - on my 'new' page, it seems like everything is size 48 font. The content is all over the place, not just in the 'module' boxes, and most of it is actually on top of something else. This isn't much of a problem though, since it is pretty much illegible anyway, and all of the links are 'javascript(void)' leading only to the top of the page. After 10 years of Yahoo, I'm being forced to leave. As sad as it is, my only advice to you is to leave as well. Yahoo has stopped caring about us, we have no choice but to stop caring in return.

All I can say is the new version isn't any good, I want my old version back, If I can't get it back I will be looking for a new home page, You hear this Yahoo, This new page is for the birds.

Any suggestions for a new home page?

yahoo is simply uncooperative. all you can do is hit them where they live; maybe they'll get the idea. here is a place where you can get a hosts file replacement and painless installer which will prevent the download and appearance of yahoo (and many others') advertising: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm please tell your friends, and help many newbies. in the end, i honestly hope that yahoo comes to it's senses, but in lieu of that, i suppose that it should be more humane to hasten their consumption by microsoft. . .
