    In the new Basic My Portfolios, after entering a transaction on 12/19/24, all the values changed to dots. The holdings are listed but no other info except erroneous day change. No share balance, etc. So now My Portfolios is useless. This needs to be fixed pronto!

    Not only is the new Basic not better than the old Classic, it now doesn't work at all.

    This change is akin to Coco-Cola making the utterly disastrous decision to stop marketing its classic Coke formula. As in that instance, many of your users are also livid about this decision. I used the classic version for over 25 years and truly loved it. It was easy to read and use and, most especially, it allowed me to review my portfolio daily at a mere glance. Among many other problems, this new version has no total in bold font in the upper margin, which on many days is all I want to see. The columns and rows of the new version look more like a dense Excel spreadsheet than the easy-to-read classic version.

    I gather the reason for the change is to entice more users to purchase your premium version which does not allow the user to convert back to the classic format. So, in my view, removing the option to convert back to the classic version appears to be just a marketing ploy. I hope you are aware of the immense reputational damage you have already experienced and will continue to encounter with this gimmick.

    I am now looking for another investment tracking portfolio similar to your classic version. On the other hand, if you bring back the option to switch back, I would glady pay for it.

    Another flaw with the new Baisc My Portfolios: In holdings->Transactions, the ability to enter notes is gone. All the notes I entered in Classic My Portfolios is missing! That was important info

    I the new format is virtually unuseable! I had a screen full of intormation previously. Now, if I want to check something that used to be easily viewed I have to scroll down to access the bar to scan to the right, then scroll back up to see the column headings. Then to look at my next item I have reverse the process. This is NOT progress! If I can't get back to the Classic View I'm going to have to re-enter all my data into Google Sheets or something similar. If I have to go through that much trouble, I definietly won't come back to Yahoo! Finance ever.

    This new version is horrible, everything is small and the layout is bad, bring back the classic view, please

    Dear Yahoo Team. As a long term user, the choice for me is binary: old layout stays, I stay.

    The new format is unfortuantely not an improvement, but the opposite. Really crazy to see how companies dev teams break bullet proven things, just for the sake of changing things. The new version is really not good.

  • David Guertin commented  ·   ·  Report

    Does anyone know how I can get back Classic Yahoo Finance? I absolutely hate the new version of Yahoo Finance.

  • James Thompson commented  ·   ·  Report

    This new format stinks. I have to go all the way to the bottom of the page to scroll side to side and then try to go back up and find the stock I was looking at. You put a block of indexes over on the right of the creen that takes up a quarter of the whole page. Don't know why you can't leave things alone.

    How do I connect to the Classic Finance page from the current Yahoo Finance Page.

  • oliver commented  ·   ·  Report

    Anyone knows any good alternatives that similar to Classis Yahoo Finance?

    The Classic (pre-Portfolio2.0) My Portfolios was easy to use. Forcing investors to use the new Basic (free) My Portfolios is a dis-sevice to us who are not frequent (day) traders. The added content is not needed/wanted. All those news article headlines on the home Summary page take a long time to load, and until then you can’t manage your portfolio.

    I use Firefox. The new format has many flaws, here are some: (1) There is no way to copy/paste the portfolio values on the home Summary page and maintain some semblance of format. You can only print it out; (2) Print (not CVS) of individual portfolios doesn’t work well with portfolios larger than one page. You get holding names, but no values on some of the items, but instead super-imposed parts of another page; (3) I couldn’t get My View to work. Using the horizontal scroll bar is a pain, so I wanted to delete some columns. But most of the columns that are displayed are not listed, in My View so they must be unchangeable by default.

    In sum, the new Basic presentation is too busy, and not user friendly. It is not a good subset, of bronze, silver and premium. You need a PC display with high resolution to avoild having to use the horizontal scroll bar., or reduce he display font size. I don’t know that it is wise for Yahoo to try to compete with other day trader software firms. Is profit really King at expense of clients?

    Wouldn't mind paying for classic.
    You will need to pay me to use this new version.
    Actively looking for alternatives.
