I HATE the new look of your main page. I customized my old page so I could block the vapid pictures and posts about Zoe and other celebrity "news". I don't care that Snoop just endorsed President Obama. Why can't my page open with what I want to see the way it used to? What was so wrong with that?

I absolutely hate the new homepage. Why can you people not leave well enought alone? New and improved is not necessarily better. I had my homepage the way I wanted it; what worked best for me and I don't you and your gurus deciding something else for me. I want it back the way it was I want that option. I enjoyed being able to fix my homepage backgrounds with seasonal and customize it the way I did and this is so ugly the way it is now. I loved the setup of my old homepage and I want it back and I want it back now! I pay $150/month u-verse, home phone and internet and by golly I should be able to have it like I want; not like you idiots think it should be. I do not want to change internet servers AT&T has been great; but if I can't get what I want I may have to start looking around. I understand I am not the only one is upset about it; you want to offer a "new and improved" look fine, but give us the option to leave things the way we liked them if we so choose; don't force something we customers don't want or need.

Hello all,

Responding to the new posts: Feb 2013 -

As Marissa (our CEO) announced this morning on the corporate blog, we are launching a new Yahoo! experience, which brings new features and much more dynamic content. You can read more at our “tips and tricks” post.

It is not possible to switch back to previous/older versions of the Yahoo! Homepage. We appreciate that you are passionate about Yahoo! and there are certain features you appreciate or don’t like. Please let the design team know directly through our feedback form.

Take care,

I scrolled several pages of comments on your new home page and the overall majority hates the new homepage - its not user friendly, you can't edit anything, it looks unorganized and sloppy. I hope Marissa (your CEO) reads some of the comments - if so I hope she realizes some changes need to be made fast. I had my homepage set up like I liked it and it had what I was interested in reading about or getting updates on was right at my fingertips, now I have to hunt for things or click on other pages - how do you thing this is better. If your are going to force us to have this ridiculous new homepage then at least give us some options and control. I have no desire to read about certain people/topics so I would like the option to hide those links - for example - OMG!. Who ever designed and approved tihs new homepage needs to be fired!

so I can read more at our “tips and tricks” post. this tells me to just remove articles I don't want to see, but what if I don't want to see 19 out of the first 20 I see? I don't care about ANY entertainment, sports, local, social, or celebrity news. I want to see real news, but I guess Yahoo isn't the place to do that anymore.

After almost 20 years of being loyal, I am seriously considering canceling my email address and relocating my home page. The new look is absolutey terrible.
