How do I get back to the old Yahoo homepage?

Just this weekend I cleaned out the internet folder (cookies and such) but I would obviously have to re-sign in to Yahoo. Well I now have a new yahoo homepage (m.www.yahoo.com) I thought the "m" part was for mobile yahoo or something? Every time I manually enter www.yahoo.com it just redirects to the new one. If it is the new look of yahoo is there a way to go back (new layout stinks) or is this an error with the mobile version? Using IE for a browser if that helps.

Update:

Well at work I still have the old page and it works fine. Which kind of makes me leery about the one on my home computer (especially since it is m.www.yahoo.com).

And for how long am I on it, well it is up the 9 hours a day that I am at work. It is my home page for a reason, or soon to be 'was my homepage' the new layout is atrocious.

    Same exact problem. cleared out my browser cache , went to yahoo and now it's dumb... Or basically I feel dumber.

    Late last week this happened but there was an option to switch back to the classic view. Upper right hand corner. Now it's *poof* gone.

    There is a feedback option so everyone should tell them this isn't fun anymore...change it back.

    I'm having the same problem. I cannot find a way to switch back to the classic home page. So, I guess it's goodbye to Yahoo as my home page. They attempted to fix something that was not broken.

    Why do you guys have that big of a problem with the new homepage? How long do you stay on it anyway? I don't think there is a classic page anymore.
