Stop yahoo defaulting back to full feature version after I select basic version?
New yahoo is rubbish that no one wants, everyone hates
& no one asked for.
Yahoo are now so out of touch with their users they must be doomed.
To anyone that owns Yahoo shares then I suggest sell them!
The new CEO of Yahoo is to blame & so she needs the boot. Is she in cahoots with Gmail perhaps & so trying to destroy Yahoo ?
These are some of the problems I've encountered with New 'Full Feature' Yahoo;
1] Emails with
common sender or recipient or subject are now clustered together in a jumbled mess like gmail. I hate gmail that's why I rarely use my gmail email.
Now Yahoo is even more confusing than Gmail!
2] I've had my yahoo account since 2004. If I want to find an email from years ago I now have to scroll through many pages. There used to be 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 or last at bottom of page to click on. Why have the morons taken this away ?
3] To save a draft now takes two clicks instead of one click. Is this their idea of progress ?
Sometimes when you click on 'X' to close at top RHS of screen you don't get the option of 'do you want to
save draft?'
Then you can't call it
back!
It says - 'Yahoo is having a problem retrieving draft'
This never happened once in 9 years of the old Yahoo.
4] Trying to forward a specific email from one of the new jumbled clusters is impossible. So the recipient can see all of the conversation where you want them to or not!
5] Why are emails addresses now shown with a name ?
I want to see the person's email address. Easier for copying & pasting.
6] When I reply to an incoming email, the
incoming email is not visible. An irrelevant one in that conversation shows instead !
7] Sometimes the cursor appear somewhere on the page other that where I click.
8] Who asked for these changes?
9] If a thing isn't broke then don't fix it.
10] Can't even escape this nightmare by switching to 'settings, viewing emails, basic', because everytime I open up yahoo it defaults to this ghastly new 'full featured' yahoo.When I return to the basic
Yahoo the symbols for 'insert link' etc aren't available anymore!
Totally infuriating. Give us back our old Yahoo which was brilliant & needed no tinkering whatsoever or I'm leaving Yahoo.
