Re:  [Rant] Yahoos new design SUCKS!!!

Hmm I thought this was about Yahoo mail, not their portal page. Ah well. Anyone got a pic of the old style of the front page?

How do you get to Yahoo? Bookmark or what? I had problems with Yahoo changing the page on a laptop. The addy showed m.yahoo
which I think means mobile. I found the original page and bookmarked that. I'll also get some strange stuff if I go from mail to the main site. I just use the bookmark to switch now.

Found this way to get the original Yahoo home page back.Can't answer about any other issues....

(IF YOU KNOW how to block a page then: block the »www.myahoo.com if that is and then it comes back to old one
IF U DONT know how to block a site then simply go to START>CONTROL PANEL> NETWORK AND INTERNET CONNECTIONS> INTERNET OPTIONS> PRIVACY>SITES copy then website address from top of the homepage and paste it there or just write it there and PRESS BLOCK and ok )

I don't see much difference between that, and what I get when I click "switch to narrow layout."

Heck I don't see all that much difference between the new version and the old. Mainly the box o' links to other Yahoo services is now on the right.

But whatever.

To me it seems Yahoo is so desperate to right their ship that they keep screwing around with their website trying to make some kind of impact and all they seem to do is piss users off.

I use the free Yahoo email everyday. I use an email of theirs for my stock trading, one for my horse playing and more emails for online shopping account and even one or two for personal use. And maybe it is just me or it is because I have flashed disabled, but it seems every so often they move the Log Out button from the top right of the page to the top left. I like automatically go to the top right to Log Out and now then moved it once again to the top left...Probably in a couple of weeks they'll screw around again and move it back to the top right. Right when my mouse gets use to going to the top left.

But to me, their free email is good for what I use it for, I don't receive any spam and their Finance section is still one of the best around so I put up with all their other screw-ups.
========================================
THATS because ever since Microsoft purchased controlling interest in yahoo. THEY-MICROSH== is going to FORCE their crap on everyone,reguardless weather you like it or not
=======================================

IF EVERYONE who is unhappy with microsoft/yahoo changes wiukd send an email to them, instead of just complaining about the changes,& not buy any Microsoft crapola,the company MIGHT take notice,
but until then MICROSOFT's attitude is going to be as it has been with their past o/o & now vista & new IE,
you don't like it,tuff XXXX

well I got the orignal yahoo.page back, I got service pack 3 & microsoft can take all their updates & put them in the same place they put win98se.

Trackable in what way? Yahoo is still leaving a cookie when you visit it.

Could you point me to a thread or article about how they are tracking users any differently than they were a year ago?

I got back the original page and this is the http:
This is what is in my bookmarks.
I think I found it when Yahoo got cute with the mobile thing.
Works in Opera, too.
Click on Yahoo from mail or groups and God knows what you will get.
