The new format sucks!!!!!! If I can't switch back I will find a new homepage.
Allow the customers to switch back. There is not one post here or on the net that says that someone likes the new format
Thank you for the feedback! We do have an option to revert back to the previous version. At the top of the page you should see a purple banner. Within that banner you would need to click on "Old Version" or you'll see an option saying return to yahoo.com. For additional support please visit help.yahoo.com

This about your new News format: While I appreciated the additional coverage of news, the new format is unbecoming. There are duplicate reports for every story. Some of them are from different news feeds but others are just repetitions of stories you have already posted. Personally, I will not scroll through 20 pages of news items. The redundancy alone has moved me to other platforms where the content is more curated. Please go back to your original format. I should add that I have been reading your articles twice a day until now.

Your new comment section that does not do any key word screening is worse than the old version. There are now a RIDICULOUS amount of sexists, racist, threatening and sexual comments on your forum. You need to also screen better for the obvious Bots that are contributing commentary.

It is so one-sided of Yahoo to allow only happy go lucky endorsements of comments. The negative side is needed in order for the 1st Amendment to function as intended. If Yahoo isn't willing to do this, then the comment section should be removed altogether!

What did you do to the search bar and the actual news topics on the 1st page? Why can’t I search anything in Google search anymore? The changes you’ve made since your buyout have been pointless and purposely push original yahoo users to other outlets for information, everybody doesn’t want to be forced into Ai. The page now looks a mess you have no real info of importance as headliners and the search does not work. You get an “F”.

As a retired medical person, I know that I feel motion distress and nausea when stuff like that goes on in front of my face. There are thousands out here who may feel the same kind of distress. These are real medical conditions that can trigger even more medical reactions. I use the the link back to your original format for the calmness and less ads choking my brain. This is an issue you should take seriously. What you are trying to do is feed us older news in the older layout and push us into using the new format, and with the newer version you are making us sick with all the stuff you choke the news page with.
Too many things are moving on a single page. I've been with you a long time but I am really disappointed in your thoughtless presentation. It isn't cool to make folks sick or dizzy or get headaches from the crazy news pages with things flashing, flipping, and moving. You are choking the readers brains with 'stuff'. Please rethink and redesign the presentation and decrease the amount of ads that you put on the pages ... it is as if the ads are more important than the news we need to have. Sorry for the negatives, but it is a real problem.
I will use other news sources if necessary if it doesn't calm down.

Your new news page format is universally deplorable. I'm already shopping for a new news outlet. You should return to your old format; wasn't broken, shouldn't have been fixed.
Signed,

Your new comments format is a total mess. If you try to select "newest" the chronological order is wrong, it takes at least three tries for comments to load, half of them are removed by censors, the mute option is gone, and half of the comments are blatantly racist. What is wrong with you?

The new homepage is more cluttered and more unappealing to view and use. I really enjoyed the old layout. It was easy to scan and see what interested me to take a deeper dive to read. The new layout is a cluster mass of stuff. It's not appealing, it's a turn off. I have begun using other browsers that are more expertly designed and more thoughtfully organized. I'd love and used Yahoo exclusively all my life but now looking for alternatives and seeking other options for a better experience. A better more pleasing experience = more potential revenue.

Your new format for the comments is very bad. The old one worked fine and had all the "tools" people wanted. Please consider going back to the old format.
Thanks for your time. -

This is the worst comment section ever. There is not way to get back to a comment so there is no way to have a conversation. Absolutely terrible. Fix it or just eliminate comments altogether. You recognize this is the only reason anyone uses this site, right?

Links don’t work. Have to hit article links multiple times. And the site reloads multiple titles while you read articles. You have ruined the website. And the BS ads are completely f’ing annoying. I used to read yahoo all the time. Now. Not much at all. You should fire your webmaster!!!

The new comments. Since it doesn't notify you the same way. Its way easier to leave incendiary or inflammatory comments as your very unlikely to see responses now. Think you changed it to get better but noticed its kinda making it worse. Way easier to just blow someone off.

Dear Yahoo,
Please, PLEASE, bring back your original format for Yahoo News. I do NOT LIKE the new version. I can't even see my e-mail icon. I've tried the US News version only, it's awful.
Thank YOU! -

I can see ideas, questions or complaints posted about an issue and there is a link showing "Comments". But clicking on the link does not show any comments. Just goes the original post. So Yahoo doesn't want anyone to see what others have said?
Why is that Yahoo makes changes without doing Beta testing to see if anyone wants the changes? -
