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

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?

I have been a MyYahoo using since the 1990s. The link to the new MyYahoo is a link to yahoo. The news feeds that I have enhjoyed over the years are no longer there. There is however a whole lot of things I have no interest in. I will check for a couple more days but if this is the direction of Yahoo, I'm in a direction without yahoo. I can think of no other reason to go to yahoo now that "MyYahoo" no longer exists. Fill you pages with ads since nobody will be coming to yahoo.

The new Yahoo is horrible, dull, amazingly common, and NOT AT ALL WHAT MY YAHOO WAS TO ME: a precious place where I had been treasuring my links, my particular interests, my mail. I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW ABSOLUTELY DISRESPECTFUL TO YOU USERS THIS IMPOSITION HAS BEEN!

The original My Yahoo! page was my homepage since the 90's. Change isn't always good.

With the original My Yahoo! page, I could pick and choose the news feeds, sports feed, financial feeds, etc. that I wanted to see. Now I am forced to view what Yahoo thinks is important for me to see. They eff'd up their financial a month or so ago, and now this. So disappointed.
