I do not like the new format.
The grid of many items on a page is confusing. The previous format with a picture in the left and description to the right was easier to scan and digest.

This new format is awful!! Things are all over the place, and most of the page is advertisements. Small point, but why are sports scores on the scroll? People might want to wait on the outcome of games, but you see it just opening the page! If you make us use a format we don't like, at least give us the options to pick what we want to see on the scroll.

I do not like the new homepage as well. I have been very satisfied with the old homepage for years. Now I read my email and move on.

So many people ask about going back to the classic view so many times and I did too. Casually come back to see if Yahoo is willing to hear and make change but seems that they will never. Guys, they stink, lets just give up this **** and go for better alternative like tradingview, stockcharts, deepvue, etc...

I liked the old format. I had what I liked. This new has nothing I like. It now SUCKS.

The big question: WHO ASKED for a format change? Now that you've tried it, and you don't have many "likes," WHEN can we go back to the customizable "My Yahoo" page that we all preferred? I think from the comments you can tell it didn't go over too well, so can we just switch back? Today, I saw the "sneak peek" blurb, so I clicked on it -- still didn't see anywhere I could customize what I see. Consider this experiment a failure, and let's return to our regularly scheduled programming!

I have avoided the new layout but it now seems I have no choice. Now I am leaving Yahoo to find a new finance page to follow. The old layout allowed me to follow all markets at a glance and was very easy to read. My Watchlist was the same. Now the page is very busy and the stocks are no longer digested in a quick glance. Sorry Yahoo. You blew it on this one.

The reason I used My Yahoo! is because I could see my stock watch list and it was a bonus to see some news stories. Without the ability to see my stocks I foresee using Yahoo less.

New is not improved, the "MyYahoo" was the best thing going for Yahoo... you had regular Yahoo, and a personalized one... Now Yahoo is nothing, but generic junk shoved at your customers.

What you have forced us into after having a customizable MyYahoo for many years is terrible.
I care little about celebrity stuff and only want to see the sports, weather, portfolios and some news blurbs on my homepage.
What you have given us is a waste of time where I have to click on multiple things to get anything I want to see. I hope your advertisers will be very happy when I switch to something else.
Please read all the comments here and put it back the way most people want it. -

Let me personalize my homepage. I want the old my yahoo back. Otherwise, I'm done with Yahoo forever. Also, your news is totally leftwing.

This has been my go to page for sports scores, stocks, news about my favorite sport teams. It is the page I used to start my day to since 1998. The new www.yahoo.com is not useful and personalized to me and very generic. The very least consider adding a few of the crucial widgets to the yahoo.com. I will have to look for alternatives if this is not done.

The old homepage was much better. Please make returning an option and then you shall see how disliked the new setup is!

Sorry Yahoo, but after decades of use as my home page which I loved, you have lost me as a user. Here are the reasons the new page does not work for me. Check my clicks or whatever to see how few times I have come onto the new homepage compared to the dozens of times a day before.
1. I can not customize my news. There is hardly any conservative view, i.e. no FOX, WSJ, or other middle or conservative news. Only meaningless clickbait or unwanted far left articles.
2. I review the my stock positions a lot and the homepage was easy to use. Yes, I know I can use the Finanical section but why should I have to bounce around on multiple pages when I did have everything I wanted on 1 home page.
3. I figure if you are going to make me go through the major hassle of finding a new home page and recreating my own news sources, I will not help you.
I will check back periodically to see if you happen to bring back the old MyYahoo. If you do, I might come back if I am not already entrenched in whatever my new "homepage" is.

Re-do the new yahoo from top to bottom. Remove ad at top of page, allow be to set # of columns, let me go back to "My Yahoo" This so-called improvement is a major step backwards.

Yeah here’s my brilliant idea… listen to your users. Quit letting AI tell you what we want and listen to your user’s. Get rid of the new format and the people that thought it was awesome!
