My Yahoo
To our loyal users of My Yahoo,
Our goal for My Yahoo is to give you a way to organize the web around your diverse set of interests. Your passion for My Yahoo inspires us to work hard to make it better everyday, and we’re just getting started. We’ve seen — and heard — the impassioned response about the revamped My Yahoo. You’ve shared lots of great feedback, and we want you to know we’re doing more than just listening. Here’s an update on your most popular requests:
- Scoreboard app (Oct 31, update) – The My Teams feature is now available (it includes the teams you were following before migrating to the new My Yahoo).
- Movies and In Theatres (Oct 31, update) – The “In Theatres” app (previously known as the Movies app) now allows you to save your favorite theatres by location (your settings from the old My Yahoo will also be transferred to the new app)
- My Portfolio app (Oct 9, update) – You are now able to see multiple portfolios at once by clicking on the All Portfolios drop down.
- Weather Location (Dec 20, update) – You are now able to save Multiple Locations using the location picker on the Weather app. To save multiple locations, use the star icon within the location picker located on the top right of the Weather app.
- Font Size and Compact view for News (Dec 20, update) – You are now able to re-size font of your My Yahoo page by selecting your preferred one on the main Edit Layout button and to choose a compact or full view for your news modules using the Edit Settings button on the cog wheel.
- Today app (Feb 2, update) – You are now able to add “Today” app to your customized page. Find it in the Add Content section.
- Portfolio (Feb 5, update) – The My Portfolio app has been enhanced to support totals now. You can also choose to Show/Hide it for all Portfolios.
- Bookmarks (Feb 14, update) – You can now access all of your bookmarks without browsing through folders. Click the “All” section in the drop-down and view all your folders/bookmarks together.
- Calendar (Feb 14, update) – All of your daily calendar appointments will now automatically appear together in a list making it more convenient to plan your daily routine.
We’ll continue to keep you up to date in this forum… and we’re not done yet – more improvements are on the way. So keep the feedback coming!
Thanks to each and every one of you.
Sincerely,
The My Yahoo Team

I lost all of the news connected to the stocks in my portfolio. How is this new format better. Hate it. Bring back the old version.

Very disappointed. I prefer my old My Yahoo page. Can't get local news or weather to stick. Keeps switching to a city 100s of miles away!
Also can't see totals for My Portfolios. I don't want to have to click three pages away to find the total value for a portfolio and I'm not as interested in individual stock's movement. Why can't I see a total like my old page had?

If you’re default location within your Yahoo Account settings is correct, I’d recommend posting on Yahoo Answers – My Yahoo for assistance from our Community Support team:
Thanks for using My Yahoo!

Loooong time Yahoo! user...Not a fan of the new interface. 2 thumbs down unfort
I'm a Yahoo! fan and I appreciate the need for progress and improvement. But this a step back in multiple areas...
What happened to this functionality?
-Can no longer delete emails from MyYahoo screen. Was this to force us to go to Mail to view the ads?
-No hover-over on news articles
- No hover-over on stocks to get additional info or latest news
-Sports scores shows many teams other than my preferences. Qunnipiac and Iona? That's important to someone, just not me.
-Layout is cumbersome. Was this to extend page view times and improve marketing scores? This will likely…

Ask your customers before making crazy modifications...
Although I’m sure that NOBODY ever reads the feed-backs, since nothing comes out of them, I still go on trying to convince you, that Yahoo mail is far from perfect in this “new” version.
My complaints:
1. 100% of the deleted mails come back immediately, at least once, to the inbox
2. Moved mails MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, more than a 85% chance, come back from their folders to the inbox
3. It’s only possible to select ONE attachment at the time, before you could choose as many as you wanted at the same time, with the help of the…4th ranked -
Get rid of the ad in the upper right corner. It is very distracting on the page and I am offended by some of the content that flashed by.

What's up with Current Location and why can't you seem to fix it?
Why are you having so much trouble getting the Current Location feature to work ALL THE TIME. You were doing well for a couple of weeks, but today (1/4/14) I'm back to living in Sunnyvale, CA, where it's a heck of a lot warmer than where I'm actually located. Obviously, the Current Location also impacts my Movie Favorites, too. Please do something to fix it PERMANENTLY, or you're going to continue to lose more and more people to Google.

Here is a list of what I see as missing in the new My Yahoo!
I'm all for progress and improvements, but here are several features that I miss.
1. Email - cannot delete emails from MyYahoo. Give me a trashcan icon.
2. Stocks - No hover-over pop-up with stock name and more stock info
3. News - no hover-over for a snippet of news
4. Weather - I want to see the 3-day forecast for my Other Cities, not just one day.9th ranked -

HOW CAN WE IMPROVE YAHOO!?
You say this at the beginning of the feedback yet you don't listen! You can improve Yahoo by listening and addressing all these negative complaints about your changes. Then suck it up, realize it was a bad idea, apologize and change it back, then send your senior advisors back to school to learn customer relations so you don't make these serious errors again!!! And I sure hope your advertisers are taking note so they can pull the plug on your funding until you start listening!

Stop the pop ups everywhere. They are so annoying!
Get rid off the pop up ads and the huge adds that cover the page.

After over 15 years of MyYahoo! being my home page, effective today it will not be.
After over 15 years of MyYahoo! being my home page, effective today. You say "faster", really? Is that the reason for the change? I never had a problem with the speed before. Terrible. Visited links don't even show in my browser's visited link color. Yahoo is the new AOL.

I hate everything about the new "My"Yahoo.
After spending considerable time getting the content and the layout of the old MyYahoo to my liking, Yahoo has decided to completely rearrange everything. This is no longer MyYahoo, it has become YourYahoo. Yahoo should listen to what their customers want instead of telling them what they want. Completely awful. This is a huge step in the wrong direction. It's time to short Yahoo stock. They've become a company that is totally out of touch with reality, and that has given up caring about their customers.

This new My Yahoo really sucks.
This new My Yahoo really sucks. I keep putting my Tennessee zip code in the Local New option but keep getting news from Sunnyvale California?!?

Why do you keep changing things?
Every time yahoo make changes it only for the worse. I wish you would have left everything alone. Now everything is **** and everything runs so slow. That is if it works at all!!! Why make all of these DUMB *** changes when it isn't worth it. I am seriously considering of getting rid of yahoo. Anything would be better then this garbage! You should at least give the option to use the worthless new yahoo or stay with the one that work.

Hate New Yahoo Homepage!
I have not being able to arrange my homepage to suit myself. Also, staring at an ad that I cannot move will make me despise the product. Was that what you were going for? It seems like some of the complaints that you are receiving could have been anticipated. I have not been using My Yahoo Movies on my homepage due to frequent screen freezes, and will probably not even try to use it again. I also prefer MapQuest driving directions even though they are not always perfect (what is?). I also dislke the overal look of the homepage. I…

The weather module is forcing "current location" that is not correct. What is wrong with you people. This is really basic.
The weather module is forcing "current location" that is incorrect. I don't want current location to be forced on me, whether I want it or not, especially when it's not right. I want to my weather places to be what I want to make them. This shouldn't be this hard. Pretty basic stuff.
