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

    Not many years ago, Yahoo enabled readers to click on a story and then go back to the original page by clicking the "back" button so we could see the other stories that we were interested in reading. Now, when you click on a story, you get a whole different page of stories when you click the back button. Right this minute, there are 4 stories that I want to read on the Yahoo news page but I know that, as soon as I click on one of them, I will lose the other three. Why have you gone to this format from one that was very user friendly? Why do I now have to write down the story headline and then GOOGLE it (I am ****** off so refusing to use Yahoo search, at this time) so I can read the other stories? If this keeps up, you will lose me as a long-time user of Yahoo for my home page.

    Every day I go to yahoo news, I now get a "XX days in a row" bug. It's like it's making me feel guilty for checking the news. Bad idea.

    In Yahoo Mail the profile selector button should either show the menu when pressed and then pressed again to hide or simply to show when hover. I personally tend to click it while it already is hovered and it's just not optimal because I open and close that menu multiple times because of that.

    Yahoo Homepage. Please please please keep it more of the old school look. The look before your most recent change (maybe about six or so months ago). I logged on today, Sunday Feb 15, and the look is good. Less busy, the font of the articles looked bolder and better. Please keep it streamlined showing more articles listed from top to bottom, less busy on the sides, and of course less ads and pop ups. Thank you.

    I really wish you would bring back the option to "hide" specific news stories and photos. Many are highly sexual, and younger eyes shouldn't see them.

    For the last two days, only the stories at the top of your entertainment page are appearing -- no stories listed running down the page. This is happening on the current Firefox browser on Windows 10. Please fix!

    You have recently started a "streak" notification system. I have NO ******* INTEREST in knowing how many days in a row I have visited www.yahoo.com and these "notifications" and "congratulations" make me think that yahoo is more interested in being a game than a source. In the past, I have found www.yahoo.com a useful site to visit, but the very annoying streak notifications are causing me to go there less and I doubt I will be visiting much longer unless there is a way to kill this insanity.

    The email screen does not scroll smoothly. For over 6 months when I try to scroll, the screen will not move. The screen instead gets stuck and I cannot view emails above or below the spot where I was. I try to refresh the screen which helps a little bit but at some point it gets stuck again. Please fix this. Also, when I try to click an email box to delete it, the click goes to another email and accidentally deletes that. The email highlighted (by my mouse location) that I'm trying to select does not match up to where the mouse is. It highlights two emails above instead of the actual email I want to delete. Please fix this too. My boyfriend says he experiences the same thing.

    I am used to the old e-mail. Why does Yahoo keep changing it?!

  • Morgan Paris commented  ·   ·  Report

    Upon the advice of the Yahoo representative that I spoke to, everyday I get a Yahoo popup on my homepage informing me of a daily streak. It lasts only a few seconds with a brief comment attached like "You're Doing Real Well" or something and the number of consecutive days that it has occurred. I would like to have it removed ASAP as it has been creating quite an annoyance for me to have to see it pop up late at night or early in the morning. So hopefully, you will be able to find a way to discontinue that very much undesired daily annoyance.
    Yours Sincerely,
    M. Paris

    On December 29th, per instructions from a Yahoo Help representative in Estonia, I filed a report, reproduced below, that for several months I have been blacklisted from commenting on Yahoo News stories. Although I have received no follow-up response from Yahoo, I have been hoping that the situation would have been resolved now by now; but today - January 1, 2026 - I made a two-word "Test comment" post that *appeared* to have been accepted.

    However, after only a few minutes had passed, I received the by-now familiar e-mail message that "Your comment on Yahoo has been rejected," saying "Your comment on 'Videos released in Epstein files raise fresh questions about jail footage' violates the community guidelines and has been rejected"

    PLEASE FIX THIS !! I am a longtime loyal Yahoo user who does not deserve to be treated this way!

    Here follows the text of my report from 12-29-25:

    Notify Yahoo News users of being banned from commenting, and how to resolve.

    Ladies and Gentlemen: I just now talked to a helpful Yahoo representative in Estonia, and he directed me to this site for resolution of my problem: For more than two months now I have been effectively blacklisted from making reader comments regarding Yahoo News articles. No matter how respectful, benign or "vanilla" my comment - such as "good point," for example - it *appears* to post, but then I soon receive an e-mail message saying that I have "violated community standards" and my comment has not been accepted.

    I have received no notice or explanation that I have effectively been banned from commenting, or how to go about resolving this ban, but it is quite apparent that this is indeed the case - even though I have always tried to be respectful and non-controversial in *attempting* - albeit unsuccessfully - to comment on various Yahoo News articles.

    Please tell me how to go about resolving this exasperating dilemma!

    Thank you and best regards, MarkT markt_a1b@yahoo.com

    The recent Yahoo Mail interface font change has made folders, inbox text, and menus extremely difficult to read.

    There is no option to change the font or text size, and browser zoom does not resolve the readability issue. This creates accessibility problems and eye strain, especially for users who spend hours in email daily.

    Please restore the previous font or provide user controls for font family and UI text size. Removing these options significantly degrades the user experience.

    I am actively considering switching email providers because of this change.

    Reinstate the option to switch back to the classic calendar view. The colors on the new calendar view are garrish and TOO DARK! Also, I'd like to see a couple more colors added for "My Clanedars." I belong to several organizations and it would be helpful to keep them in their own categories using the colors in the "My Calendar" option.

    Revert to Old Version where we are able to customize number of columns and content.

    Your weather location software sucks! I'm currently in Elmhurst, Illinois but weather is for Ashburn. Doesn't have what state - VA? GA? When I click on it, it says my current location is Milltown! When I click on Milltown to open Maps, it takes me to Milltown, NJ! But your url says Milltown, Wisconsin! WTF! Why not just make your homepage customizable or at least let me set my current location!

    Go back to the previous layout and give me back the ability to stop seeing websites that are not relevant to me.
