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

Your new comments format is a total mess. If you try to select "newest" the chronological order is wrong, it takes at least three tries for comments to load, half of them are removed by censors, the mute option is gone, and half of the comments are blatantly racist. What is wrong with you?

The new homepage is more cluttered and more unappealing to view and use. I really enjoyed the old layout. It was easy to scan and see what interested me to take a deeper dive to read. The new layout is a cluster mass of stuff. It's not appealing, it's a turn off. I have begun using other browsers that are more expertly designed and more thoughtfully organized. I'd love and used Yahoo exclusively all my life but now looking for alternatives and seeking other options for a better experience. A better more pleasing experience = more potential revenue.

Your new format for the comments is very bad. The old one worked fine and had all the "tools" people wanted. Please consider going back to the old format.
Thanks for your time. -

This is the worst comment section ever. There is not way to get back to a comment so there is no way to have a conversation. Absolutely terrible. Fix it or just eliminate comments altogether. You recognize this is the only reason anyone uses this site, right?

Links don’t work. Have to hit article links multiple times. And the site reloads multiple titles while you read articles. You have ruined the website. And the BS ads are completely f’ing annoying. I used to read yahoo all the time. Now. Not much at all. You should fire your webmaster!!!

The new comments. Since it doesn't notify you the same way. Its way easier to leave incendiary or inflammatory comments as your very unlikely to see responses now. Think you changed it to get better but noticed its kinda making it worse. Way easier to just blow someone off.

Dear Yahoo,
Please, PLEASE, bring back your original format for Yahoo News. I do NOT LIKE the new version. I can't even see my e-mail icon. I've tried the US News version only, it's awful.
Thank YOU! -

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? -

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.

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.
