Whatever you think you have done by changing the look of your home page, it is horrid. No more local news, no more financial information. I will probably have to change my home page since this is not a workable situation.

I agree 150%. HATE YOUR NEW HOME PAGE! HATE IT! HATE IT! HATE IT! All of my favorite features are gone, my financial settings/watches are gone, and I can't find anything I'm looking for anymore.
Again, I HATE IT, HATE IT, HATE IT!

I think Hoosier Native might be on to something: What if Yahoo's CEO Queen has made these brazen purposely horrific homepage format changes---to plummet Yahoo company stocks---so she and a select few can hurriedly reap up as much low stock as they can---BEFORE they get fired by the company!

So, after they're FIRED, their low bought Yahoo stocks go up---and so does their profit$! You got to admit: It IS quite the clever plan. Either they get FIRED...or Yahoo's Board of Directors discover the plan, see who's holding those stocks---and: 1) Are forced to keep these INCOMPETENT LACKEYS in their high-level positions...because...B) those INCOMPETENT LACKEYS now own 51% of the stocks necessary to hold the POWER TO FIRE those they dislike on the Yahoo Board of Directors. Hmmmm...maybe those INCOMPETENT LACKEYS aren't so dumb, after all...

And you thought J.R. on Dallas was clever, caustic and CUT-THROAT DIRTY!

Yahoo Queen CEO Marissa Mayer is NOT INTERESTED IN ANYTHING YOU BOO-HOO BELLYACHE ABOUT HERE OR ANYWHERE ELSE; she's done made that ACRIMONIOUSLY CLEAR in a recent podcast interview. The new changes stay---and there's nothing we microbe small people can do to stop her.

So...we're wasting our time here. Why not we simply FIRE Yahoo---take them COMPLETELY OFF our browsers---and merely switch to Google; we can choose the news services of CNN, FoxNews, MSNBC---our choice, of course. In fact, I've transferred ALL my address book contacts to my NEW Gmail account; Good-bye Yahoo!

You ought to do the same---WE ALL OUGHT TO DO THE SAME...NOW!

Let Queen Mayer explain to the Yahoo Board of Directors why their e-server loads suddenly lessened, why Google has THEIR business...AND their advertiser clients, too.

I agree with all the prior posts. I don't know what the AOL web page is like but ANYTHING has to be better than this. You go to read an article and have to click "read more". Then after you have finished you can't return to the homepage. Also, why did you drop the selection of local, all, etc.? All you have done is give us an endless list of articles. Gee, could it be you are forcing us into viewing advertisements? Who designed this POS? Some little monkey sitting in a basement cage? No wonder your stock keeps declining in value. You just can't get it right! I don't know what I will use but you can bank on the fact that after 15 or so years Yahoo won't be it.

They keep trying to change their home page and it's not appealing. If you try to contact customer service or get advice on how to switch back there's a maze of sites that are frustrating. Why can't they have an option as to what home page look and function you prefer?

Attention Yahoo Administration;

Slander, and misuse of personal information and any distribution of selling or printing of someone elses private information is against the law. Also to write false reports against anyone and or to write or produce any false statement period about anyone is against the law and I shall not hesitate to prosecute those that are being abusive towards me!

To access my yahoo mail, I am now being required to agree to terms which apparently allow Yahoo to invade my privacy even more by giving them information to that will help their advertisers conduct target marketing. I really find this offensive. I don't want to see any ads and I certainly do not want them to have access to information which is personal to me.

I am complaining about the Yahoo Lottery Notification.
These people who are using Yahoo, to scam people out of money should be punished, as it is fraud. Surely there is somebody out there who can track them down.
Firstly they say they are Mr Mark Smith, then in the following email they are Sir Mark Smith.
Isn't there any honesty left in this world.

I rec'd my Sept. bank statement and there was a $77.94 charge I did not authorized. I went to my account there was no place to check cancel. I called the company they said all cancels need to be done on line. I went on line followed the steps and when it says to go into Manager Services you cannot get into it to cancel.

This particular person is harassing all those who would like to enjoy a good game of bridge on your site (yahoo bridge) he not only wrecks tables by making unwarranted bids, 7 no is his favorite, but is also will use abusive language while making it look like someone else is saying it. All those playing bridge support me in these charges.

There's no link to click for the NHL in Sports. It has teams, news, schedule, standings etc. Where did it go? Please fix this. It's one of 4 major sports. I'll switch to AOL if not fixed. Thank you.
