  1. Calendar Default View

    SInce your last Yahoo mail software update, my Yahoo calendar defaults to a weekly view instead of my desired monthly view. I see no option to adjust the calendar default view back to monthly. Please fix.

    Hi there, we wanted to let everyone know that we have now implemented this default view! You had requested "monthly" view be the default instead of "weekly." Please give it a try! Thanks so much for your request and patience!

    The new color scheme for the calendars is terrible. The darker, brighter colors make it difficult to read the appointment texts, and they look awful
    Please go back to the nice pastel colors we used to have and which made reading the appointment texts easy

  3. Please go back to the old Yahoo calendar!

    This new calendar is awful! The tags all show as little dots of the same color instead of the tags I use to color-code my family's activities. The tags are now useless.

    I like to view the whole month at a time. With the last change, it always defaulted to the week view, which was annoying. Now it is back to the month view as default, but it does not show everything that is on each day without having to click a button to see the additional items. I need to be able to see all items on my month-view…

  4. Improved Calendar Event Editing

    When I edit an existing Calendar Event - change the date - then click on another field such as the time - the square calendar box where I selected the new date does NOT close. This makes it difficult to select the SAVE button. Please improve this.

  5. Calendar: Fix the sports teams links

    The favorite sports team sync with the Yahoo! calendar does not pull over games onto the calendar anymore, and/or it is spotty and missing games.

  6. Full calendar year display - ability to choose this view

    Add back ability to see all 12 months displayed. In old version of yahoo mail, you could easily choose to look at the whole year by month, just displaying the numerical dates by month Jan-Dec. That does not seem to exist in the new version.

  7. Add back colors types for my appointments.

    Not working in new software: The calendar view does not display the type (the color) of the event. I use different colors for different events. Only a blue dot now shows. to the right of the appt. Please fix.

  8. Making the new Yahoo calendar more useful

    In the new Yahoo calendar on my desk top, when looking at the Month view, you cannot see all the things that are on that particular day. It shows 2 specific items and then says "3 more" and you have to click on the "3 more" to see what they are are. How dumb is that!!! I want the minimum number of clicks to get information. I have just changed back to the old yahoo mail so that I can have a Yahoo calendar that is useful. If you don't stop playing around with Yahoo I'm just going to have…

  9. Calendar Display Inconsistent

    Calendar items are abbreviated now. Back and forth between abbreviated and full display. I so much prefer full display of calendar items. In fact, the whole reason to use Yahoo Calendar is the complete display of calendar items without clicking on something.

  10. DO NOT SHOW MY EVENTS AS “3 MORE” OR "2 MORE" IN THE MONTHLY FORMAT, I NEED TO SEE THEM ALL, ALL AT ONCE

    I am having major issues with the updated changes to the Calendar, very dissatisfied

    PLEASE FIX THIS
    DO NOT SHOW MY EVENTS AS “3 MORE” OR "2 MORE" IN THE MONTHLY FORMAT, I NEED TO SEE THEM ALL, ALL AT ONCE

    I NEED TO SEE THEM TO BOOK TIMESLOTS

    IT IS NOT HELPFUL TO CLICK THE “3 MORE” AND HAVE A LITTLE WINDOW SHOW UP

    I NEED TO BE ABLE FOR ALL TIMESLOTS TO BE VISIBLE ON THE MAIN SCREEN AT ALL TIMES.

    WE HAVE DOZENS OF BOOKINGS IN A DAY
    THE EVENING BOOKINGS AS WELL NEED TO BE VISIBLE…

  11. Calendar Scheduling

    Whenever I click on the date, I want to schedule an event, the date is off by at least a day. Even when I amend the date and save the event is off by a day. So I have to end up dragging the event to the correct day. It's a BIG hassle to say the least. Please rectify this buy at your earliest convenience. Thanks in advance !!!

  12. More fixes for Calendar!

    I do not like the colored dots beside an event-I need the color bar, as it used to be shown. I also used the flag type to determine the status of my events-with no flags being shown, I cannot tell what is going on. Are these changes or is my calendar broken?

  13. Fix the Calendar!!!

    When I choose a day to add an event-it opens using the current day-not the day I chose. It also does this when I use the dropdown menu for adding an event or task. This is very frustrating & inconvenient; especially after years of choosing a day & have that day screen open.

  14. Calendar changes make calendar more difficult to use.

    Suddenly, week and month displays are abbreviated into one line. I can't read an entry without clicking on it. The previous version of calendar with multi-line readable entries was so easy to use. The new version with ugly colors has just been such a mess.

  16. Update "More on Yahoo" menu in Calendar to match the one in Mail

    Please update the "More on Yahoo" menu in the new version of Calendar to include icons next to the text (News, Finance, Sports, etc.), so that it matches the "More on Yahoo" menu that can be found when viewing messages in the new Yahoo Mail.

  17. calendar needs help

    I don't know what happened but my calendar has changed is basically not at all useful. Anytime I'm invited from an outlook account now - for a teams meeting - there is no link for me to follow to join the meeting. The calendar defaults to a week view - and I have to change it to a month view every time. I like the old one better.

  18. You can improve yhoo mail by restoring the ability for users to see the dates they entered in the calendar.

    Dear Yahoo team, please, stop improving the calendar and restore the customer's ability to see the dates I've added that are important for me. Everything has become terrible, and I'm looking for other ways to add them to the calendar from different sources.
