    Yahoo is testing a new layout, but it is not hitting all users at the same time.

    "M.yahoo.com" (or another country's equivalent) is not the yahoo.com version for mobiles, but a new site layout which is tested on a couple of users without asking them for their consent first. Some users like it, but most don't. Many are upset as they cannot get to their mails without clicking many different links before they get to read anything. One user reports that he was told he can't get the layout changed. His reaction: he simply made his mail account his homepage and bookmarked the other Yahoo services. Well, I've been doing this for a long time myself as I want to be able to choose which Yahoo services to use and how to use them...

    Note: users reported that clearing the browser cache of cookies and temp files and then typing http://www.yahoo.com/ in the browser window, returned the old familiar design in most cases.

    How do we get the old yahoo home page back?

    I do not like the new layout. It is not user friendly and just gives more room for advertisements. If that is all you are interested in then there are other sites available for me to change to. How much money do you folks need anyway. The clock is ticking.
