Your new comment section that does not do any key word screening is worse than the old version. There are now a RIDICULOUS amount of sexists, racist, threatening and sexual comments on your forum. You need to also screen better for the obvious Bots that are contributing commentary.

Long time user cannot view your site

It is so one-sided of Yahoo to allow only happy go lucky endorsements of comments. The negative side is needed in order for the 1st Amendment to function as intended. If Yahoo isn't willing to do this, then the comment section should be removed altogether!

What did you do to the search bar and the actual news topics on the 1st page? Why can’t I search anything in Google search anymore? The changes you’ve made since your buyout have been pointless and purposely push original yahoo users to other outlets for information, everybody doesn’t want to be forced into Ai. The page now looks a mess you have no real info of importance as headliners and the search does not work. You get an “F”.

As a retired medical person, I know that I feel motion distress and nausea when stuff like that goes on in front of my face. There are thousands out here who may feel the same kind of distress. These are real medical conditions that can trigger even more medical reactions. I use the the link back to your original format for the calmness and less ads choking my brain. This is an issue you should take seriously. What you are trying to do is feed us older news in the older layout and push us into using the new format, and with the newer version you are making us sick with all the stuff you choke the news page with.

Too many things are moving on a single page. I've been with you a long time but I am really disappointed in your thoughtless presentation. It isn't cool to make folks sick or dizzy or get headaches from the crazy news pages with things flashing, flipping, and moving. You are choking the readers brains with 'stuff'. Please rethink and redesign the presentation and decrease the amount of ads that you put on the pages ... it is as if the ads are more important than the news we need to have. Sorry for the negatives, but it is a real problem.

I will use other news sources if necessary if it doesn't calm down.

go back to old format on posting. The new one is like posting to yourself. The new one sucks.

Your new news page format is universally deplorable. I'm already shopping for a new news outlet. You should return to your old format; wasn't broken, shouldn't have been fixed.

Everyone

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?

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!
