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

Even worse, when I talked with a customer rep with Yahoo this afternoon, I was infomed that my MyYahoo page was no longer in existence--that when management arbitrarily and with zero notice to me (or to anyone else) simply trashed my (and others') self-created home pages. He said it wasn't even "in the Cloud" and that there was no way for me to get it back with Yahoo. Well, I've used it for so many years, I can recreate it in my sleep--which I intend to do as soon as I find another server,

Give me back my MyYahoo.com homepage! I custom-made it over several years and get all the info I need and want from one convenient home page. I do NOT want Yahoo's useless mashup of websites and ads as my homepage. Now I have to go to Google and type in every website that was on my ow homepage in order to get the information that I want.
Plus I am furious that Yahoo management had the audacity to simply cut off my access to my homepage without any warning. It just quit working. Talk about arrogance! I'm disgusted with Yahoo and am actively searching for a new browser that will allow me to make my own homepage (or at least post a list of my website links (both news feeds and other sites) so I don't have to enter each one into Google to open them.
When I called Yahoo Help this afternoon, the rep I spoke with informed me that my self-created Yahoo home page was no longer in existence--not even in the "Cloud" and that there was no way for me to get it back!
Yahoo you are disgusting.

Are you guys at Yahoo on *****? The new homepage is HORRIBLE!!! I loved the ability to customize my homepage and have used it happily for many years. Change back or I'm gone.

This is were you write you complaint. This is yahoo's placebo feedback page. Noboy at Yahoo reads these but they believe it makes yahoo subscribers feel as if they are actually listened to, but they aren't. I used to have MyYahoo as my homepage as it had feeds from the news, sports and financial publications I read daily. Not anymore. Since the demise of MyYahoo. I have no reason to visit yahoo. THere are certainlyu better search engines and their current tabloid news feeds are worse than the NY Post. Adios Yahoo. Really good thinking on your part.

I always start my internet with the my yahoo page because it has a mix of my custom news, portfolio, stock market levels, business news, new york times news and weather and sports news all on one page. It is essentially my dashboard. The new home page is awful and now I have to find a new service to serve as my dashboard.

First of all, the link to fill out "this form" to participate in the User Research Study, goes to a Go Daddy site page purchase thing! IT'S BROKE!!!!!
Second, the new homepage is worthless! Can't edit what's offered, choose content I am interested in, add RSS links! What you see is what you get, ***** the CUSTOMER, like it or lump it!
You may not realize this, but people will change email addresses, go to different servers for there home page. ABANDON YAHOO! Sometimes, great ideas, aren't so great. You might want to rethink your actions, because, for every action, there is a reaction! And, it's not always a good reaction!

Someone mentioned a " "help" article about how to get back to the old page". I went to Help on this new atrocity and did not find an article. Since we can't respond to other people's comments I guess I'll keep searching unless someone has it and can start a thread. I did find a "go to the old Yahoo" link on this new POS, but it doesn't take you to my.yahoo, just the previous and equally worthless yahoo. Anyone looking for a new startup page may want to try start [dot] me.

The biggest issue I have with this change is that you provided ZERO notification as to WHEN this was happening. If we had been given an "end of life" date, we could have prepared, copied our curated links, noted our news sources, etc. Instead, you just changed it without letting us know, and now there is seemingly no way to get our old content back. I had a lot of my bookmarks listed on that page, and at the BARE MINIMUM, I would like to get those back because that was my primary way to get to the pages I use the most. I saw your "help" article about how to get back to the old page, but I have no such notification or button on my "new" home page that would let me opt back to the old version. I have even cleared my cookies and still nothing. This is a horrible user experience and you have a lot of frustrated people who are in the same boat.

Very very bad form to delete a user's Home Page and all the information (25 years worth), links,etc. saved thereon. How do you explain this. Will take me months to reconstruct it all. Had specific shut down date been provided, could have copied everything and avoided this disaster. Can my Bookmarks me retrieved and provided to me?
