Has Yahoo Mail become unusable with updates in past 2 years?

I have had Yahoo mail since it started.........I switched from AOL. It was great in the beginning but the past 2 years of updates have made it:

Slower

Buggy

Harder to navigate at times

So is it now just plain unusable? I hate it now myself.

I ask because Yahoo seems to forget it needs us to make money but could care less of what people think, Because of the outages and usability problems I use my Gmail for important mail now, I had a job that would email me assignments and it was yahoo at first but I had so many problems with outages and using the interface I lost assignments and so it cost me money.

    Switch to Basic view to open. "full featured" is having issues.

    Click Gear icon next to Mail upper right.

    Click settings.

    Click Viewing Mail.

    At the bottom choose BASIC and save. Email should now be viewable.

    You could switch browsers and see if that helps.

    Also you could have a corrupt cookie. Clear the browser cache of cookies, temp files and history. Click Ok and Restart the computer.

    Make sure your JavaScript and adobe flash is updated
