How do I change my yahoo mail back to what it was before this unasked for update?

My yahoo mail suddenly looked different last week and I can't find a way to change it back to what it was before these visual enhancements which I don't want. It just doesn't work as smoothly as it did before the the search mail function seems a bit wonky. Also, I don't like the constant nagging for me to join a community or to change my page theme. I just want to do basic functional email!!! How do I get back?

    Once you have been upgraded to the new Yahoo Mail it is not possible to switch back to the previous version. The Yahoo help article below has instructions on how to change the background on your email page.

    Please let Yahoo know about the search mail function seeming a bit wonky. This page is for feedback and Yahoo employees are reading the posts.
