    Hi John, unfortunately we are keeping our themes simplified. We have no plans in adding more. Very sorry! Before we had a lot of themes and background, but they were never used. A huge majority of our community kept the default themes. Therefore, we decided not to support more. Hope you understand!

  11. New yahoo mail format

    This new yahoo mail format is the absolute worst. Tiny print, I have to adjust the print size to a larger size when I use yahoo mail and adjust the print size back to my original settings when I go to other websites. Did you hire a chimp from the zoo to design this abomination? HORRIBLE!

  14. Go back to what worked

    New layout is dreadful. I clicked “Go Back” after giving feedback, but it’s not changed. This isn’t as effective as the old one, I’m having massive issues with this. Yahoo get this sorted out asap, it’s clear to see everyone is having issues. Go back to what worked.

  16. i want the old lay out back

    why are you changing things. this new lay out is horrible! to see everything i want in my inbox, i have to go to two different "boxes", this is stupid and redundant. this is like someone finding a fix for something that isn't broken. or just changing something just to change it to say that they did something.

  17. Go back to the old way

    The new inbox is way too small. Even after I’ve set it to a larger setting

  19. Terrible new yahoo mail and the old classic is completely unusable

    All of the above, please bring back the old classic version, it has been working so well for so long, the new yahoo is unbearable, and I was pleased to see I could at least go back to the classic old version, but now that looks tiny, you can’t hit the delete without hitting unread or just highlighting the email. This is frustrating and so time consuming to delete five emails and yesterday 35 emails, completely has lost the ability of efficiency. so much negative reviews all stating the same issues. The three options for the different views are all…

  20. Stop forcing unwanted changes on users. This is NOT improvement

    Found myself unvoluntarily in a horrible „new“ email layout/version. Just leave as is!!! How hard can that be? Nobody was asking for „improvements“. It worked just fine. Now in the „old version“ the preview window to the right is gone, and the new version wastes space with their left hand navigation, and everything is way too small to comfortably navigate. This is NOT a positive change, and I refuse to do the „designer“‘s work by pointing out details. Maybe it’ll help if the ones responsible would be fired and everything rolled back.
