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

The new format was awful....it made me not want to go to Yahoo which I have always used as my homepage and for news. The classic design was great and worked well. Please, please I beg you .....don't change it!!!

I agree with everyone here. The new homepage is awful. It too plain, not customizable and does not draw my attention to it, in fact I want to get off of it as soon as I get to it. There was no thought in the design of it. If there was I am not sure who would have signed off on it. The bare minimum it needs to be customizable. I want the articles of interest for me up front and center. I should not have to search through the whole page or menus to get to my interests. This lack of this feature will not draw people to wanting to use it. I know I won't. In fact I will look for another homepage to set as my default. I have been a MyYahoo user since I started using a computer regularly and that is a very long time. I truly hope you take these comments to heart and make big changes in order to retain your current user base.

Obviously Yahoo has downgraded the utility of the website/page in order to try get users to pay up for a premium service. It's a free country, so I will likely be going elsewhere unless the utility of the original My.Yahoo page is maintained.
Thanks for nothing.

New format is terrible. I even called Yahoo tech support and was told nothing could be done about it. So, just suck it up and use it? Unsatisfactory response for a tech support. Had something similar with the Financial Yahoo page a while back. Fortunately Yahoo put a link at bottom of page to return to Classic Finance page format. Why can't Yahoo do same for the homepage?

If you DO change the home page, I'm out of here. (and it appears, I'm not alone)

Agreed. I am entirely uninterested in what other people think is trending this week. It now looks like every other legacy website landing page.
I don't care about celebrities, sports, bus crashes in India, horoscopes, or reality TV. If I cannot customize my content there is no reason to be on Yahoo. -

New home page looks terrible but on the old page that I like you can't add WNBA or Women's College teams to My Teams. Kinda sexist isn't it?

Why do you web page creators think that there is a need for change all the time? Quit trying to justify your jobs by thinking change is necessary!

As far as I know, My Yahoo is fairly unique in terms of being self-curated homepage. Have the headlines from subject areas and content providers that I care about, and can choose is really the best way to interface with the Internet. Add to the a scoreboard, weather, and stock ticker (from my page), and I really do have a personalized place to go. Once (if) you discontinue My Yahoo my interactions with Yahoo will fall off sharply. It truly boggles the mind that this can be beneficial to your bottom line.

Have had my yahoo as homepage for years with NBC news, NPR, BBC and my portfolio. Have NYT, WAPO, AP, and Reuters bookmarked in my bowser. I know how to read and do not need news feeds selected for me and displayed in video and sound. I now need a new homepage and more book marks for what I have enjoyed on "my yahoo." Also, on my portfolio, I would never put online my holdings; please quit prompting me to do that.

The ability to customize the content presented and where it sits on the home page is critical.
The new myYahoo! seem not to have that.
Please keep the custom page set up function in play, in some form. -

Hate the new format! It is in no way shape or form customizable to what interests ME. I will never use this new format and will find a new homepage for myself...currently I made my yahoo mail my homepage. Disappointed that you guys thought this was a good idea :-(

I like the current MyYahoo. Please reconsider the change to the "New Yahoo" I am able to add content category that I want to see, not some random page of information of no interest to me. I also like that my portfolio is right there on my home page and don't have to go searching for it. I have looked at the new proposed layout and it is horrible! either make it better or you will lose another viewer.

Quit trying to FORCE people to take something that they do not want. I like the old yahoo. You keep changing it to the new and I keep putting it back to the old because I DO NOT WANT THE NEW YAHOO. QUIT FORCING PEOPLE TO TAKE WHAT THEY DON'T WANT OR YOU WILL LOSE THEM FROM YOUR SITE.
