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

I can see ideas, questions or complaints posted about an issue and there is a link showing "Comments". But clicking on the link does not show any comments. Just goes the original post. So Yahoo doesn't want anyone to see what others have said?
Why is that Yahoo makes changes without doing Beta testing to see if anyone wants the changes? -

Simple, easy to navigate and have more choices at a quick glance

You changed your website page to make it more busy and less informative. I am not a millennial with a short attention span. Please go back to your previous format. Provide REAL news and not millennial click bait.

I appreciate Yahoo trying to adapt and evolve the new comments and reaction section to be more user-friendly with emojis. However, because all reactions are lumped together in a single number (i.e. all thumbs up, laughing faces, hearts, and thumbs down are summed together), there has been an influx of inflammatory comments making the highest rated and top comment in an article. This has made the comments section seemingly more hostile and toxic. The old comment section was better as it allowed infammatory comments to be disliked and therefore buried. Users could see that it was a highly disliked comment and not just one that was the most interacted. The highest rated comments in the old comment section were therefore more good-willed and humane compared to the current format. Please reconsider your new comments and reactions UI so that infammatory comments get buried and instead of being highlighted as a top interacted comment.

Hello.
I have used Yahoo for almost 30 years.
I really don;t like the new layout for yahoo.com
I've always been able to go back to the old layout but apparently that's not possible anymore.
You haven't changed the layout at Yahoo Finance & I sincerely hope you don;t as I use that daily.
The changes that were made to the layout at yahoo.com have made it so I don;t use that as my homepage anymore & don't even use it at all anymore, that's how much I can't get used to it & don't like it.Please, revert to the old layout on yahoo.com & don't change Yahoo Finance.
Many thanks,
Philip McKenney -

Who thought it would be a good idea to change a perfectly designed comment section. The new format needs to go!

This is hideous. It took forever to load and I don't even want to TRY to navigate it. Do NOT like it at ALL!

Please drop posting all of the Daily Beast articles as they are all partisan and full of exaggerations and lies, it is a tabloid website and not real journalism.

I detest the new look of my Yahoo mail. It is bland, ugly and boring. How do I go back to the old one? BTW, Yahoo changed this without asking if I wanted it. You know, if it's not broke, don't fix it.

My mail now is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. How do I get back to what I had before?

Removal of the upvote/downvote system, with the ONLY option now to "like" a post, or simply do nothing, is a mistake. It amplifies content regardless of its value, and gives inappropriate weight to negative/hateful comments that would otherwise get downvoted into oblivion with the old system. I really hope you reconsider this change; if I wanted Facebook-style features, I'd join Facebook.

Displaying Yahoo Finance and Yahoo Sports on the opening page was the most useful and inviting draw to your site. Now they have disappeared. I deem this to be a big mistake, Please bring them back - they are your best assets. Without them, I will be forced to no longer go to your site.

Truly hate the new format recently rolled out on my thant makes my decisions for me with no other option - AI??
To the point, when I get an email on my phone that I want to save, I move it one of many folders. I am a rural rancher and order a lot online. Now when a vendor sends me a "shipped" notice containing a link to track it, your system WILL NOT LET ME MOVE IT. All I can really do is leave it alone (where I tend to accidently delete things) or delete it sending it to trash. And no, one it's it trash I cannot move it anywhere or do anything but empty it. only other option to move it is to go to the office, sign in to my desktop where the old format still exists and lets me shift things to where I want,
Plz fix it. -

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.

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.
