I have seen and tried to access my e-mail via this new webpage and I hate it. It takes a long time for the e-mail to come up and when it does it comes up inside a little box next to the mail tab. I prefer the other way because I could easily see my e-mails and access them quickly.

I am one of the "lucky" ones to test this new yahoo. I can say I don't like it.

When I log into my mail, it takes 2 clicks to see all of my messages. It takes 2 clicks to get to my.yahoo.com. I want more text and less graphics. This is just the opposite. How do I Undo this m.yahoo.com thing?

No - it is ticking me off - the design is terrible and is more difficult to navigate - subtle changes would be more accepted.

I find the new design far less useful than the original. It's annoying. I'm now using MSN for my homepage.

i hate this new page

It sucks!

I have the new page desine and I can't get rid of it. Please tellmehow to get rid of it or I will send letters to who ever made it like this intill it gets reasolved. please tell me how to get rid of please tell me how to getrid of it at curtisdavis47@yahoo.com Pleasetell me how to get rid of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It does suck as much as everyone says. It's hard to view your messages, contacts...where's my calendar!?!?! I'm not happy. Anyone know how to stop it from redirecting?

I HATE IT.

What the Hell?! How dare Yahoo! pull this stunt without notifying the test group! I thought I was having browser trouble or had malware/a virus! Those stupid idiots!

I see it on my home computer and not on my work computer. I thought I had some spyware or something in my computer and googled m.www.yahoo.com. I can say I do not like it.

Please put the old homepage back. To difficult to access my email. Yahoo was not broke. Don't fix it.

I suppose I am part of the 'test group' since I get the new design on redirect. Simply put, I hate it. I am an American living in Europe and this is the second time this year Yahoo has gone on to p!$$ me off with their "insight" into what users want. The first was they'd changed the site to automatically redirect you to the host country site based on your ip address. I sent probably 50 messages telling them how absurd that action was and that if I wanted my Yahoo in a different language that I was smart enough and able to do that without their interference. A week later they added a link onto Yahoo.com if you were in another country and a link to the host country on the webpage so you could choose either/or. So send you complaints up!!! If you ask me, this new page looks and feels a bit like MSN doesn't it???

Well.. It is a bit confusing. What isn't obvious is they are giving you the option to "sign-in" under the mail tab without actually taking you to your email... only to a summary. When you select "mail" and then login to "Go toYahoo! Mail" (instead of just the "Sign in" button), it actually takes you into the classic Yahoo mail that we are used to seeing. Not too slick considering the intermediate logon screen looks identical no matter if you are logging into Yahoo (which displays the mail summary) or actually logging into classic mail. If it was clearer how they intended us to use it, it probably would have been better accepted. I think the summary is fine as long as you realize it is only supposed to be a little window to see what recent mail you have received... Not intended to be a replacement for the classic mail application... Oh well.

I love the design .. its owesome .. its the great every ... its cool

I love the design .. its owesome .. its the great every ... its cool

I thought my cookies or something were messed up and that Yahoo had slipped a redirect command in, somehow... Driving me nuts! I only use Yahoo FOR the mail and do not care at all about the home page and having to then click to get to my mail page. I've actually been deleting and re-saving the link from my favorites because I thought it was corrupted! Live and learn... Don't like it!

I was having a hard time understanding why on one computer I was getting the "lucky" new Yahoo home page and on the other I was getting the traditional homepage. I hated the new homepage so much that I stopped using that computer until I figured out how to get rid of it. It simply took me a couple of clicks in FireFox to delete all Yahoo cookies and everything was back to normal! Thank God for that because it was really beginning to piss me off!!

@Sonia Helms: To get to your email from there, click on the link at the top that says "Go to mail."

Personally, I like the new layout. I hope they make it the default pretty soon. It's about time for Yahoo! to change how their home page looks.

I do I get rid of it...itss sooo annoying

Graphis suck, layout is not an improvement.

When my users are running searches, the link they click on is not the page that comes up. Esp Wiki pages.

Google is working correctly.

vI don't like it one bit, I can't access my mail quickly, horoscope, and other stuff that I was accustomed to. boo.. yahoo why change the formula? remember when Coca cola changed some of the ingredients in regular coke? It didn't go well did it?

I actually like the web design.
haha! I'm probably the first one to like it.
But hey change happens and you all will get used to it. Maybe because I'm just a kid I don't mind. To make it faster, get a faster computer and internet service d: jk

Simple fix: restrict m.www.yahoo.com.

I think the new design is great I have no problems with it it is simple to navigate I don't know why people are having trouble with it I use Firefox no problems new design doesn't work with crome haven't tried explorer

The new design blows chunks... Yahoo seems to have this supermarket mentality, where every few years every damn thing has to be turned around so you can't find anything. Didn't they "redesign" it just a couple of years ago? This constant dicking around is making few friends, the current design carries a lot more information right up front, (which by the way has less information that the old one did), the new design requires one, two or even three clicks for you to see things (like where the DOW is going) that are right on the main page now.

Looks like after 10 years of using Yahoo I'll be telling them to take their mailbox and to stick it and take it elsewhere.

I don't get these companies and the people that run things, they screw with the users and consumers then they boo-hoo effin hoo and whine and moan that they are losing their shirts.

From what I can tell, everyone, this is a MOBILE version of the Yahoo page and for some reason their code is MIS-READING your browser and thinking you are on a mobile device, instead.

Also, to change back to the normal www.yahoo.com, just DELETE YOUR COOKIES. Come on, folks, attempt to think for yourselves, even if just a LITTLE BIT.

m.www.yahoo.com. New page loads slower. Hope they give users option to use old page style
or I will stop using yahoo and use google instead.

Hate it, hate it, hate it. that I do no have a choice to make a change really p*$$e$ me off.

This new site is a pain. In order to get rid of it,close your browser, delete all your cookies and temporary files. The easy way is to download the freeware CCleaner and run it. Works every time and gets me back to the original site.

I HATE IT!!!!!

To get back to the older version just download the free CCLEANER and run it - ET VOILA
Enjoy it

I recently clicked on to classic mail by mistake! I hate it! How can I get back to my original home page?
Pissed off!!!!

I don't like this new site either! How do I get back to normal?

Do know of any other good sites I can change to for my home page? Send the designers for the new homepage to work in the mail room!

Just saw the new yahoo home page and I thought that it was being redirected to yahoo mobile. I HATE IT! Can I undo this and get the old home page back? I hope they do not keep this. I will be forced to use a different home page. because this one sucks...

I don't like m.yahoo.com

I already uninstalled Yahoo messenger and everything related to Yahoo thinking it is a bug. YAHOO, if you are listening - Keep the original page and stop redirecting me to the crapy m.yahoo.com.... Don't Fix It if it Ain;t bBroke...

I hate it - I'm sick of it - I can't get rid of it

I hate it! It takes forever to type a query. It's slow and clunky. Please AT LEAST give me a choice to view the old page again. This sucks!

I do not like the new Yahoo page. Will use MSN until (and hopefully) they bring back the old Yahoo home page.

I do not like the new Yahoo page. Will use MSN until (and hopefully) they bring back the old Yahoo home page.

Go to tools, internet options, highlight, and delete yahoo address. Delete cookies, temporary files, and history. Then write www.yahoo.com in the blank space, where you deleted yahoo. Click
apply, then close window. Reopen. Bingo!

I get rid of it, go to Internet Options, select Privacy tab, select Sites button, type in address http://m.www.yahoo.com and then select Block and then hit OK button. This will prevent the new version from opening up and will open up the old one when you hit the home button.

I tried this and it only worked for about a minute. I then started being redirected again. I hate this new version!

I absolutely hate http://m.www.yahoo.com/ It makes me very angry that websites pull this kind of crap by pushing new stuff without your permission. I want the old site as my home page.

Who has the solution to fix this....

i stopped browsing for two days just because of that annoyance. Old yahoo shows news all around before i search. I get all things in one screen. i AM NOT interested in the new old thing of microsoft making ms word more difficult and hiding what people need most! Please free us from forcing us it what we dont want!
I want to see the whole page, news all over the world every thing in one page — that old http://www.yahoo.com was a supper page. I hate msn from microsoft. may be i will have to try other start up pages. I spent hours on internet searching how to revert back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a laptop this is for yahoo mobile I DONT WANT IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love this new page.
great look and feel.
makes me want to stay

i really like the new format. i've seen it many times on both my work and home computers. i keep trying to get it to stay. i hope it comes back soon!

New "M" version requires twice as many clicks to get to email account. When I use "yahoo.com" in firefox 3, no redirect to "M" version (only ie7 redirects to "M").

I stand corrected. If I chose the "Mail" link on the right side of the page (for the "M" version), it's just a quick as the original "Yahoo.com".

What a total POS. Yahoo! has their head up their collective asses. At least give people the option of testing the new design or not. Well! done! Yahoo! Drive! me! away! from! your! site!.

I hate this new page!!!! How can I get my old page back? pls

Install Google Chrome browser and it will let you use the old yahoo start up page.

I know how to fix it. You can set your homepage or your bookmarks for yahoo to this: http://www.yahoo.com/?nm=1

Simple Fix:- Clear your cookies

I'm pretty pissed off. I received no notification that this was going to happen. It only happens on Firefox. I thought my program was hijacked.

HATE IT!!! HATE IT!!! IT CHANGED AND WONT'S LET ME CHANGE IT BACK!!!!IF IT DOES NOT GIVE ME AN OPTION TO CHANGE BACK, I WILL CHANGE TO A NEW HOWEPAGE AND SWITCH MY MAIL TO SOMEONE ELSE AND BE DONE FOREVER WITH YAHOO.

this crap sux donkey balls

This shyt sucks...

I don't want this new page. I liked the old page because it was not cluttered. You could see MAIL, etc. and go right to it. Now I have to hunt. Why does Yahoo insist on trying to improve on what is already working.

Don't worry ,Don't fear this is not a Yahoo's bogus site.

Just you are getting redirected to the test version of new Yahoo! Homepage, "m.www.yahoo.com". Yahoo! randomly expose test pages to a fraction of yahoo users.They are testing out a new layout. If you don't like it remove the cookies from your computer. Then you can go back to your favourite yahoo interface (Home page) again.

adding the http/m.www.yahoo.com to your security page for restricted sites gives you the good yahoo back.

what a bunch of azzholes. i dont use it. when i see it,i just close the window and go without searching. i'm happier spending all day blindly trying websites for the things i'm looking for then willingly bending over and taking it up my ass the way yahoo wants me to. i stuck with them loyally through more than a decade of internet access, and they do this to me. screw it, i'd rather not even get on the computer at all half the time, just because of this. ain't worth it. i hope someone sues them for not offering an opt-out or notifying anyone. wishful thinking, i guess

some people are saying that the m. prefix means mobile.... so this is a mobile page some people are saying. on the other hand it looks more like a new design. personally i dont like it all and i wish they would have sent an email or notification saying they were gonna do this. YAHOO,I HATE THIS NEW SET UP!

Well, all you guys should check out these couple of websites.. the first one has the only "official annoucement" from Yahoo Corp about this change along with screen shots, and they are willing to accept feedback about it. A lot good it would probably do:

http://ycorpblog.com/2008/09/17/testing-testing-a-new-yahoo-com/

naturally, everyone there is outraged by this unfair intrusion and inconvenience to life, as well. I guess C-Net put it best, when they called us involuntary "Guinea pigs squeal over yahoo new home page test":

http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-10062224-93.html

All that being said, let me tell you, that like allot of people when this started happening I thought for sure I had picked up a virus, and probably a keystroke logger. But after some arduous hours of going through my registry and other delicate areas of my computer, painstakingly, with a fine toothed comb, I eventually stumbled upon the above info. :(

If you check out all of the responses on these pages, you will find allot of helpful advice to thwart this demon plot of theirs. Which I've already found to work. This whole thing is the most unfair crap I've ever seen. I'm not just angry, but honestyly feel betrayed by a site that i stuck with through rain and shine, even when EVERYONE I KNEW bitched at me for not using google. This is OUTRAGEOUS. I also, simply refuse to use it. The second it loads, (which isnt always.. hmm interesting, huh?) I start emptying my files, clearing the cookies, etc. as per some of the advice listed above. It does work, problem is, as soon as yahoo realizes you are back, they send another cookie or other 'command', that sets your computer to immediately again start to re-direct you to m.yahoo, the very next time you open up your home page. So, THEN you have to do it all over again, emptying/deleting files, etc. Yes this takes allot of extra time, that you might not have, but it sure beats the alternative: Being FORCED to use an inferior version of yahoo that was meant for mobile phones, AGAINST YOUR WILL, As part of some psychotic mind bending experiment that they dreamed up to make you participate in (supposedly for YOUR OWN BENEFIT - HAH!!)
Nope, Not ME.

What should bother ppl most honestly, is exactly how they are determining who/when or where to "randomly" send their test page to. At first I assumed it was by region.. not necessarily IP addresses, but as you may read above, Sometimes ppl sharing the same connection (two comps in the same room, using the same internet access) dont BOTH always end up becomming part of the test. For example, one person still gets normal yahoo, and the computer next to it has been (permanently) switched to the new one to participate in this test.... "at random" we are to think.. that leaves allot to think about, really. As THAT kind of "selectiveness" isnt often "randomly" come by. heh If you understood any of all that.

All I know is, I'm about to manually hand pick my way through every last rediculously redundant and hidden directory on this computer's hard drive, uninstalling and deleting anything that's even vaguely related to yahoo, as I go. Then we'll see if we end up coming across any "root kits" or god knows whatever else they might have tried hiding in there, and decompile them. :)

In the meantime, some things you should know. Once you've been "randomly selected", there IS NO going back, until the duration of the testing period has run its course. Currently there is no scheduled end date for the testing period. :/ SOOOO.... I highly recommend doing one, or ALL of the following, if for no other reason, than to just screw up their beta-test, as they most richly deserve.. simply for having FORCED this on all of us. Maybe if enough ppl start throwing their results off, they will friggin' wake up and stop this forced totalitarianism nonesense while they still have one or two customers.

1 - right click your browser icon, select properties and find the SECURITY Tab, click it and then click "RESTRICTED SITES". click the sites tab and enter in the following address:
http://m.www.yahoo.com
click ADD, then OK. This should help a bit to stop the Re-direct that sends you away from the old Yahoo page we all know and love. But there is still more that you will absolutely have to do:

2 - While in the Properties of your Web Browser (and exspecially if using Internet Explorer) leave the Security Tab, and Click on the ADVANCED Tab. Scroll down the list of check boxes to the "Security Section" and put a check box in front of the line that says "Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed" and then click the APPLY button at the bottom. While you are there, if you're smart you should DISABLE "Install on Demand" - but that's just a generally good idea, it doesnt really help you any with the yahoo re-direct problem, and so, is definitely a different topic for a different post!

3 - Finally, get used to emptying your temporary internet files and cookies, which can also usually be done from this Same "Properties" menu that you changed the above in. In Internet Explorer, if you click the GENERAL Tab in this same area where we've been working on SECURITY, you should see some choices for Deleting cookies, deleting temporary files (remember to click the checkbox for "delete all offline content as well" so that it gets rid of everything) and also clear your history while you are there. Dont worry, none of the files that get deleted will be anything you need, or will miss. And none of your programs will stop working if you clear these on the fly, they will simply auto download what they need again, if they need anything THAT badly at all (improbable).

Do Step Three as often as you can remember to, and it definitely should help. The only exception to this 'delete them all of the time thing', is if you are actually LOGGED into an email account at the time you clear these files, for example, it might forget who you are and ask you to log in again. Once more, not a biggie, really.

If all of you actually put the extra time into doing all that I mentioned above, maybe cumulatively we can put an end to all of this imposed insanity, by negating any useful data that Yahoo Corp might have expected to obtain from us.

Be Damned, If I'm going to be a willing test subject!! They had no right to do this, the way that they did. Without proper notification, explanation, and accountability. I dunno about you guys, but If I cant have yahoo the way it's supposed to be - i.e. USEFUL, then I too, will go find something ELSE That IS. I think it's a worthy cause to fight for.

Good luck to everyone. And hope this post helps someone.

oh one other thing I should mention, I noticed that when yahoo eventually "discerns my presence" (however by which they do that is still unknown, btw), and attempt to start that re-directing to m.yahoo crap.. that sometimes if I actually click my "HOME" Button at the top above the explorer bar, it brings me back to the regular yahoo start up page. Havent tested that enough to be sure that it always works yet, and I'm not sure if maybe that is only some fluke of a thing that only works on my computer, or not.... but hey, its worth a try as a quick fix if you dont have time to empty all the files, as mentioned above. Like I said, dunno if that will work for everyone or not. But again,

Good Luck, All!!!! What's next, the thought police?????? or the Fireman burning books.. ?!?!

"Yahoo! Companion" - MY ASSSSS!!!!!!! rflmgdfao

I tried e-mailing Yahoo to tell them that I hate the new homepage and asked them to change me back to my old one. They replied that it was impossible to change back. Bullsh.....t! I'm considering going to AOL.

FUCKING HORRIBLE!!!

Leave feedback with yahoo and then restrict m.yahoo.com

I do not like the new Yahoo setup either and will be changing my homepage as well. I do not appreciate not being notified of the change. Seems unethical to me and it's all about ethics as far as I'm concerned!

I too was being redirected to m.yahoo.com. I searched the internet and I am not so smart on computers but I found this and it worked! Back to my old yahoo, thank goodness. Go to Tools/Internet Options/General Options tab. Select browsing history and delete button. Deleted temp files,cookies and histories. It worked and other then the yahoo I did not want I did not loose any of my other information on my computer. Good Luck.

For those who think the "m" portion of m.yahoo.com automatically makes it a mobile site, you're mistaken. m.yahoo.com is a test for a different site layout that yahoo is testing on random people, without their consent. Apparently, there are two ways to fix it. The first is to go into your internet options and clear your cookies and browsing history. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your history and cookies, you can set your homepage to http://www.yahoo.com/?nm=1 - This will get you back to the original yahoo.

Thank goodness for the internet, to find ways to get around the stupidity of the people serving us the internet!

The new page is horrible. When will portal providers figure out that SIMPLICITY is the key to everything. They have my eyeballs, if something looks interesting I will click through, but if they keep making the home page more complex and slower, I will go away competelely in an INSTANT!

I hate this new design!!! It's just not pratical!! I want to open yahoo.com and go straight to my email and not have to click so many times.

Leave the "m" fucking out

Thank you news.cnet. resticting the site http://m.www.yahoo. gave me back my old web page. Thanks again. and I just want to say if yahoo continues to do things like this I will find another home page. The new page is not user friendly and has issues. If they are going to make such change they should make them gradually and with forwarding

Hate it. Can't find what I'm looking for. Put it back the way it was!

is there a way to get rid of it...I like the old version, mainly because my IQ is above room temperature. The new set up is retarded and only gets in my way...Its like vista, it assumes you know nothing and thus makes things annoying.

I hate the m.yahoo.com and want to know how to get rid of it and go back to www.yahoo.com

I don"t like the new home page. I prefer the old one especially when looking @ my email

new page sucks
