I like the idea of eBay being incorporated on the Yahoo! homepage, as it makes the life of the end user so much simpler when everything is right at hand. Expect eBay and other online auction sites to become even more popular as the current economic autumn turns into winter.

One more comment… after using the new beta for the past month – I’m having a hard time going back … it’s just such a cleaner layout for me. I’m using a HTPC off of a 42″ screen and have to scroll..scroll…scroll…to see the relevant news and stories…the new layout has better placement.

Would like to see something done with the services sections though…I’ve always felt that Yahoo never did the best job plugging or advertising it’s new services.

Thanks and hope the input is helpful

Ihad this running on FF but needed to reinstall my OS the other day and would like to get back to the beta page…is there a way to get back to the beta? Tried the m.yahoo.com url but just landed me on a plain-jane yahoo page.

Thanks

I have had Yahoo attempt to cram this crummy new homepage down my throat and I hate it. Like the majority of commenters (search the web) I think Yahoo must be crazy to try to force this on people without asking. When it first happened I thought my browser was infected with a browser hijacker. After all these months and what must be thousands of complaints Yahoo has still not addressed the concerns of its users. And Tapan Bhat, you will never “evaluate the behavior of returning users” as you posted on YodelAnecdotal, because most people you force this on will either (1) clear their cookies and web cache to get rid of it or (2) NOT RETURN. Although it doesn’t surprise me that Yahoo “support” either lies or doesn’t know how to get rid of it, since they are uniformly incompetent and generally useless. So to conclude I say “Go Yahoo, great job alienating and chasing away formerly loyal users.” I’ll be giving out a gmail address in the future.

If you do not like the new yahoo home page, and were selected to be a lab rat, you can get the old page back by clearing your cookies.
Yahoo customer service will tell you there is no way to go back to the old home page. They are not being truthful.

I loathe the new homepage. It looks like the so-called table of contents of “women’s” magazines. I don’t want a bunch of new features (read delete the ones I use and replace with “entertainment” options). Is your target audience a bunch of twelve-year-olds? Do you think entertainment is the only thing your audience cares about? The space devoted to news has shrunk so much you may as well delete it altogether–replace it with a blog about the latest Michael Jackson debacle.

I think its pretty sad that Yahoo is helping driving yahoo memebers to ebay rather than keeping folks on Yahoo servers and promoting Yahoo stores more.

I also think its sad that yahoo actually had a healthy and thriving auction site, and rather than reopen the Yahoo auction site to bring more site traffic to yahoo home page, you chose to plug ebay with these new ebay apps (who is a major competitor to virtually all yahoo stores).

How do I get back to the old yahoo site? This new one blows. I am about to switch full time to my google account if I have to use this crappy page.

I do not like the new home page and I do not wish to change. You need to ASK people if they want to take part in a new home page or leave them with what they have. I do not appreciate this change.

I found this tutorial very helpful, and you chose quite a charming voice for the video.

Finally started to see it on IE…but not FF. Then it disappeared. Then it came back. Then it disappeared. Now, it’s gone from IE..but has now showed up in FF.

Huh?

I like it…just LEAVE it there! Please.

Also; can you eventually drag drop modules..or delete those you dont want (like stocks and horoscopes.)

Couldn’t you use a Sports and News module? Calendar?
And you should be able to click the module again once open..it order to close.
