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

BRING BACK MY.YAHOO HOMEPAGE. What were you thinking? The new page SUCKS and has NOTHING I need. PLUS, all the LINKS I've used DAILY for YEARS are gone. Thanks Yahoo great job (sarcasm).

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. -

I've had My Yahoo for well over 20 years, and you just drop it? And I do not think anyone is listening. I hate the new layout.

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.

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!

To maximize the value advertisers gain from Yahoo Finance, it's crucial to engage the broadest possible audience of end users. Offering a choice in page layout—such as reintroducing the Classic View alongside the current layout—could significantly enhance user satisfaction and retention. Many end users have expressed a preference for the Classic View, and accommodating their needs would likely increase engagement, benefitting advertisers who rely on these interactions to effectively reach their audience.
Yahoo Finance plays a pivotal role in connecting advertisers with potential customers, and user experience is at the core of this relationship. By providing layout options, Yahoo Finance demonstrates a commitment to both its end users and its advertisers, reinforcing its position as a premier platform for financial news and advertising.
Would it be too significant of a challenge to reintroduce the Classic View as an option? The potential benefits—higher user satisfaction, increased engagement, and better outcomes for advertisers—make this an investment worth considering. The math clearly supports this move as a win-win for all stakeholders.

Like so many others, the new Yahoo Home Page is barely usable and much hated. I don't know why tech is always in search of fixing a problem that doesn't exist. If you must keep this poorly thought monstrosity, at least give us tools to customize the page. I have zero interest in the latest celebrity's sharing of too much information, the Hawk Tuah girl or so much more extraneous and ungrouped topics. Sad to say after over 20 years, I am ready to abandon Yahoo. This is not just a joke but an insult to ling time users.
