The new Yahoo home page?

The new Yahoo home page is awful. It is cluttered, a design mess, things which you don't want keep popping up if you run the mouse over it and it is much slower than the old one. We used to have the option of having the old one if we wanted it, but that option has now gone. Do other users prefer the old home page like I do? If so, what can we do to get it back, if anything? The new one is a complete design disaster.

    It is terrible, I agree. And for now, there's nothing to be done about it. Many users are boycotting it. I switched to the url for just the mail login as my opening address. Problem solved. I don't need to look at their disgusting new page at all now!

    There's a link for making comments to Yahoo at the bottom of their page. Barring that, when I'm nostalgic for the old Yahoo. I go to: http://it.yahoo.com/ Granted it's in Italian. But that makes it more fun for me!

    Click on "Page Options" and select "Compact Mode". That will turn off the left nav rollovers.

    The design is meant to surface content quickly, give it a few days to see how you like it.

    i agree entirely, i hate the new frontpage, its cluttered and overcomplicated.

    The old one was nice, bland and easy to use.

    I sent an email to yahoo comparing them to microsoft, they only change things when they're working perfectly fine.
