Why have they changed YA platform again?
I was just beginning to get use to the last one as it was much easier to peruse, scan and more readable.
Is that what the geeks and nerds do with their spare time at YA HQs and at their workstations all day long? Maybe the new CEO cracked the whip and yanked their chained to get more work online.
Make it so!

It has nothing to do with the CEO, it is about the Yahoo programmers and computers in general.
Evert time they change one thing it seems to stuff up something else.
From what I can gather it has something to do with the route your computer makes to get to the Yahoo computer
We just have to make the best with what they offer and adapt to suit us with the way we work

Maybe the new CEO's the prob.
Maybe Marissa Mayhem's tryin to make it look like she's doing things to pull Y outa the doldrums for the $20,000,000 she made in her 1st yr [no typo.]
Y's board of directors cant handle Y, so they keep trying to find a CEO who can, but Ms Mayhem is the 5th in 6 yrs and things aren't lookin good except Y's stock is well up, but analysts say that's bc of Y's stake in Alibaba.
Y itself depends on search & ads for income but those are lagging while google's makin out.
A few yrs ago, Microsoft offered to buy Y for a good price per share, but Y rejected the offer.
I duno if it was the board or Jerry Yang, co-founder. I understand he left the co.
Maybe Ms Mayhem can turn Y around, but the IT media isn't optimistic, esp after the email screwup and the still-flat revenue.
Imo, Y will be sold.

More than 75% of Yahoo's revenue comes from search and "display" ads (banners and in-video ads), but both businesses are struggling. . Sales from both types of ads have fallen every quarter in 2013. . Overall, Yahoo's revenue has been flat for the past three years.
