    Forced into new version from Yahoo classic - not happy

    I currently have yahoo and gmail accounts, and rarely use the gmail as I don't like the interface but I am forced to have it with work. I find the new version of yahoo frustrating for many of the same reasons as it is similar to gmail now. In the past, I have been able to quickly opt out of the new yahoo version and go back to the old. I recently added the pay version of yahoo to have more storage, and that is when I was switched to the new version (without being asked). For the first time, I was not able to switch back.

    I do not like the look of the new. There is not as much contrast between read and unread emails. Not as many emails show up on the page. When I scroll in the new version, it sporadically jumps up and down, even though I am continuously scrolling down. I feel like a beta tester, and I really don't like not being able to switch back.

    Please reinstate the option of yahoo classic. I would even be willing to forgo the extra storage and pare down my inbox to go back to the old. If not, I can' see keeping yahoo long term. I've resisted making google my primary as I don't like their interface, and have preferred yahoo classic. Now that yahoo is becoming more like google, there's not much reason to keep using it, as google is preferred in my work environment. Yahoo classic was better than gmail. I'm sure others must feel the same way. Why change a good thing?
