Yahoo mail changes...?
Isn't it interesting how the new setup looks extremely close to Gmail???
They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Even so, the two can't compare. There's nothing as clean & simplistic as the original. I don't want to see "their" idea of my homepage every time I log in. That's BULL.
Yahoo is becoming very controlling, and something like my email & what comes up in my favorite links should be under MY control...not theirs.
LoneStar: First...Yahoo feedbck is a joke. Even when I wrote them for something more serious than just displeasure of their system, I had never ever gotten anything beyond a generic reply, then all subsequent replies back had all my comments & questions missing. Nothing was ever resolved.
Next, when I tried to go to my mail, they gave me NO option to say "no thanks" or "keep classic", otherwise, I would have selected it & I wouldn't be here complaining about it.
Can't stay on the all new version?? Good, because it's a horrible program, a copied design, & it seems they ask certain users if they want it & other users...no choice. They also made me change my password...again.

Send your "feedback" to Yahoo----they need to know it when we are unhappy.
In the meantime----you can stay on the Classic version and retain controll of your email page. Just keep clicking on the "NO Thanks" OR "Keep me in Classic"----(very small writing bottom of page). Eventually the prompts will stop (per Yahoo)
BUT you can NOT stay on the All New Mail version----you WILL have to upgrade----or switch to Classic.
*********************************
IF you've already been tricked into upgrading----try this to return to Classic (permanently).
Classic will remain an option for those of us currently using it AND who don't want to (or can't) use the Beta version---even tho Yahoo has removed the link to go back to it. (they want to force you to use it)
Try this bit of trickery to (quickly and permanently) get back to Classic.
Just lower the page "resolution" to the point where it won't support the Beta version. Go to>>"start>control panel>"appearances and themes" >display>settings>>lower it and click OK.
You "may" then be required to restart your computer.
THEN-----Once you've gone back to your mail page ---you will be told that your resolution is too low and asked if you want to switch to Classic as the "default" or "permanently"---(NOT the "one time only").
AFTER changing your mail page back to Classic---- go BACK to the control panel and return the page resolution to normal, (so things will continue to work smoothly.
