new yahoo homepage SUCKS?

How can I get back the old yahoo homepage? I was able to get it back couple weeks ago by deleting cookies and temp files, but this time that wont work.

I have seen many, many negative revirews and complaints about this all over the internet, so why did yahoo go ahead and and change everything knowing how many people hated the new version?? The new page never ends, you can scroll down forever. Way too many things on the homepage which makes it even harder to navigate...it is more mish mash than anything. Anyway to change it back???

Update:

Thanks for all the answers I agree with all....the colors are terrible, and the layout is absolutly terrible.

    I have to agree with all the others and have been a Yahoo user from the get go! That's before Mark Cuban made his millions with the stock. It would have been better had they left the choice of 1/4 page (column) on the left and 3/4 page on the right because you wouldn't have to scroll forever. It makes sense for both a computer and cell phone.

    I have changed to MSN homepage. Not because it was better, but because this new home page sucks and is unusable. Damm Yahoo. No one asked for change. I get the old home page on my other computer because I cannot update to the new windows explorer. Thank you for admin lockout this time. HATE the new yahoo

    Yeah this new yahoo page sucks hard, I will find a new place to go. Plus I have had enough of the Huffington Post or should I say Suckington Post...maybe Blowington Post. So they are a good fit for each other.

    I really liked the previous yahoo page always something to read, now it's very crappy I don't know who was thinking or if anyone was thinking when they made this switch...To me Yahoo's Homepage was great better than MSN & Bing...So come on Yahoo get your act together...Give the users what they want and not what you need.

    The new My Yahoo does not load properly in my Surface Pro 2. I'm extremely disappointed. I'v been a paying Yahoo customer for many years. If this doesn't get resolved, I'm out of here...

    Marissa keeps screwing up a good thing. This new site is HORRENDOUS times infinity. It is more poopy than a humpback whale in the ocean. It is more poopy than a group of monkeys at the zoo. It is more poopy than the flamingos at the same zoo.

    Time to remove it and just go with Google News. I would do the same with my email but the switching costs are too high since I've used it for almost 20 years.

    Yahoo should be ashamed of itself for this giant miscarriage of a homepage. I think we can all see why Yahoo like it... they fit twice as many ads for us to enjoy while trying to get real information. We used to be able to push the main ad box to the bottom of the page, but luckily they fixed that. After all, who doesn't want the valuable real estate on the top of their homepage to be advertising. I mean, isn't that why we have computers after all? I guess after many years of dissing Google and promoting Yahoo I will have to give Chrome a try. Good luck Yahoo, thanks for crapping on your loyal users!

    I am in PC hell. I thought the Yahoo home page was from years and years ago. Not only that i made a mistake and downloaded fire fox which i hate and worst of all my BING tab seemed to check out, I can't get it to stay upon re-start. All this because i spent hours trying to change the new ugly Yahoo Home Page. Thanks Yahoo. LOL...I have a lot of work ahead of me.

    yahoo really needs to just go back to the old version this one isn't going to cut it, not only is it harder to navigate it shows there is no purpose to the homepage at all anymore. Guess I'll be moving my email to another place, no point in coming here anymore.
