"Read more" links
90 % of your "Read more" links are broken and take you to an old yahoo page, about baby charlie. I really enjoy scrolling through the page and reading different articles, which that link messes up for me. Please fix ASAP!

I open a story and as soon as it says.... "Next" or "Start Slide Show"... it's good-bye! I don't open or read another thing and it's getting to a point that I'll be changing my home screen to another station soon.

Please stop your picture on picture story telling. It took me over an hour to go through your celebrity homes section. Too long. and gets very boring.

create more of your own content or at least stop having readers redirected to other websites with "Show More"

Complained before...Complaining again...and will continue to complain until it's corrected. Or perhaps I should just DUMP YAHOO altogether and go with something else?!?!? I mean, I've supported you for 20+ years, but maybe it's time for me to take business elsewhere.
When I click on a (homepage) link to view a story that interests me, it opens a new tab...BUT ONLY A SMALL SNIPPET OF THE STORY APPEARS! WHY? WHY? WHY? It is absolutely ridiculous that I must then (in the new tab) click "Continue Reading" (or something similar) and then open the FULL story in YET ANOTHER NEW TAB!
If the story interests me enough to click on it, then I should get the full story. I should NOT have to "click again" to open a NEW TAB to finish it.
PLEASE CORRECT THIS IRRITATING ISSUE!!!

Why? Why can we not have the one click to read a story feature back? I've scrolled through the previous post all your Product Support team says is thank you for your post.
I haven't been on yahoo in months. It used to be my "go to" page but not any more. Sorry Yahoo but look like you lost me for good.

Stop "Next page news feeds. Takes an hour to read a 5 minute story. Very aggravating.

For more than a decade I have been an avid Yahoo supporter. However more than a year ago now you changed the format so almost every story I am interested in reading requires me to click at least twice to get to the entire story. I realize this sounds petty, however it's an annoying waste of time. I'm a busy individual, I'm on call 24/7 and work 60+ hrs a week. I don't have time to watch the news, so I get 99% of my news from Yahoo. Your desire to bump your income by increasing your pay per click count doesn't work for me. My time is more valuable than that, and it's important you recognize your customers time is more valuable than the 1/2 a penny you just made by annoying me. Fix it - or I'm done, for good. I'll find a new home page that values my time as a busy professional.

Go back to the old format. Where you click on a story summary and it takes you to the full article NOT to another page with a partial story that requires you to click to another page for the full story. Background - Yahoo was my go to webpage for news, weather, sports, humor, etc ... but now I rarely ever go to Yahoo. I am leaving this feedback to let you know why. Hope you fix it.

Go back to old format please. When I click on an article I expect the article to be in a full page. Not having to click once with another page with only 2 lines about the article saying Read more. Too many clicks! Is very annoying. Furthermore, you repeat the same article sometimes more than 3 times in =different words just to make up content. Furthermore, you keep articles sometimes up to a week. Way too old.! Quit doing that!

Can read news stories on yahoo finance, the read more button is gone https://finance.yahoo.com/m/c12df57b-3e53-3f79-b995-f24773c1b61f/ss_ppdai-group-inc.-to-report.html

Agreed. The multiple clicks it takes to get to a story is annoying. Then, it takes forever for that new page to load. By the time I have clicked 14 times and allow it to load, I am basically over it and don't care if I read the story.

Hate every time I like a story I read a few lines and have to click next to continue reading very annoying, I normally go to MSN to read the story.

This is one of the few things that is not Yahoo's fault. Blame US copyright law.
When you see this redirection to a totally different page, it is because the original news source took down the page or moved it to archives. Since its URL changed, the Yahoo link to it does not work anymore. Yahoo does strange things when a URL is broken.
Yahoo cannot put the entire article belonging to someone else on its website. This is due to court decisions limiting how much of a copyrighted work can be reproduced on a different website.
The Read More link takes you to the original owner website.

and your recommended steps re: fixing the browser don't help, this is a yahoo problem, not a browser problem. honestly between the terrible newer mobile format and mostly broken desktop page (not even getting into content quality or lack thereof) i don't know why i ever go to yahoo.com anymore.

Why do I always have to click the "read more" or "story continues" link on the majority of feeds? It is very annoying. I obviously want to read the article since I clicked it from the homepage, so I would suggest that that step be eliminated?
