    Here's a bit of constructive criticism for the new Finance website. My opinion is simple. It sucks. First, how do most people in the world read? Top of page, left to right, and top to bottom. Where did you stick indices? The right hand side of the page in a small font. News is nice, but most people use your site for prices, not news. It's painfully slow at times. Unacceptable in the finance game. Speed matters when money is on the line. You should fire the following people. I'll start with the most egregious first - marketing wizards, page design staff, web coders, and probably first, not last, is the executive that created this mess. It's patently obvious the marketing and design folks do NOT have a clue about the financial industry, especially traders. And yes, serious traders do not use your site. Your site has always been a starting point for new traders and interested parties. That leads to your pricing. It's a really bad joke. What am I getting for the money? **** news & opinions with a bias. It's not going to sell. You will never hit the numbers the marketing department sold you. Not a chance.Candidly, it's mostly fixable, but I'm not sure about the website. It's that offensive to me. So, when this site fails to meet revenue numbers in spite of the marketing people best effort to fix it. Drop me an email for help.

    I don't know who tested this beta but it is not ready for prime time. I know it will likely not make any difference among users that you would ever roll this back or abandon some of the heavy loads when you click on a navigation link, but it is extremely slow and very small font size. Please don't tell me to zoom because the zoom does not hold for each navigation change. It performs a global zoom for all views and each created profile.
    I have been through a few of these Yahoo errata's. Each transition is worse and clunkier than the one before.Presumably this is all built on the for fee platform but even those who have converted and pay for the new version are adamant that it is detrimental vs. an improvement. Why not allow those seeking the fee based service get your new and improved 2.0 version and those who do not pay for it got the old 1.0 version ? You know why and so do I.

    If I cannot use the classic version, I will stop using Yahoo Finance. Why do you want to change a good thing with something terrible?

    I paid for GOLD plan to try to use a script to download CSV historical stock prices with a script. There isn't anywhere an offer of an API key or another way to make the script work. What Yahoo did with the paid plan and offerings and basic features are horrifying. This is fraud! The management is blind and dumb. For $50 for one month, I don't see much a future of the service. So sad. It used to be good.

    Recent change to graph should be reverted to a version that works. Do not like the new changes -
    1) too much clutter on screen
    2) When viewing stock in graph mode can not change the date range at all - only shows a 6 month range and clicking on any other date range, such as 3 mo or 1 yr does not change the date range on the graph itself
    3) Too much content on page for Yahoo Finance to be usable on iPad devices - almost useless
    4) I am searching for a more usable tool, such as TC2000 and forgetting Yahoo Finance
    5) Too many changes to User interface and function - LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE !
    6) Yahoo Finance is incredibly SLOW
    7) Usability and worthwhile 1 out of 5
    8) Would NEVER upgrade to premium at this rate - better to migrate to another site/tool such as TC2000

    Your new format keeps giving "Page is Unresponsive" edits when I try to get an "All Years" chart for individual stocks on the summary page. Up to 5Y is fine, but "ALL" doesn't work.

    How to add number of shared though dividend reinvestment to shares owned?

  • Jan Shuster commented  ·   ·  Report

    Writing here is a waste of time. Email them directly.

    You will actually get a response. It will be ******** but someone will actually waste their time responding to you.

    Be as indignant as you can !

    Yahoo cheezy move to force the "new" ****** finance page on their users

  • Tryg last name commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yahoo shows they really dont care that their users HATE the "new" finance page

  • Jack Irwin commented  ·   ·  Report

    Working in the finance industry, I choose to rely on Yahoo Finance for monitoring of general market conditions during the day. Given I believe this view is shared with most other users that access Yahoo Finance, I am confused as to why the market dock is not the primary section of the new format, along with the custom portfolios and watchlists. The news section should be placed below the market dock like in the old format, and the market dock should be larger to show more information on the major market tickers (S&P, Dow, Russell, etc.). This should be customizable, and ideally would even include one interactive chart in the center/middle of the dock (like with any individual ticker).

    Additionally, the primary advertisement at the top of the page should either be smaller or should be a close-able or at least reduceable pop-up. I understand the ad revenue generation is significant, but a pop-up that can be routinely closed or minimized after entering the website will not only get more interaction but will allow for a more user-friendly interface on the main screen that doesn't automatically move or distract from the important subject matter.

    The way I picture in, the market dock should take up at least 20-30% of the webpages initial loading screen in the upper left portion of the screen, below the toolbar and search bar of course. The portfolios/watchlists should be vertically oriented next to this on the right side with a dropdown to pick which list to view. Leave the breaking news directly below the market dock taking up the bottom 30% of the screen. Get rid of the massive news pictures for breaking news and move it either below or to the right if the actual breaking news titles. This will better emphasize the importance of the breaking news and won't waste space (sorry, another massive picture of Powell is not going to make me click on an article).

    Hope this feedback is seriously considered. Seems like a lot of people are upset with no suggestions. This design should be more intuitive and purposeful. Thanks for your time.

    Horrible change ever! The new one does not ever work! Is it the purpose to make the users to upgrade to Premium option? With such horrible quality at the standard version, would you really think the user would trust to pay for Premium?

  • Chris taddei commented  ·   ·  Report

    How does making it harder less user friendly more complicated with less options really help. I am gong to block my entire company from yahoo due to this....
