Please put me back to old My Yahoo

What is surprising (and scary) to me is that corporates such as Yahoo who have lots of money and great talent can only end up with seriously mediocre at best re-designs?<p>At first reading the user complaints, I just thought &quot;Bah, they would get used to it&quot; (without actually visiting the page first). And then I visited <a href="https://my.yahoo.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;my.yahoo.com</a>, I totally agree with those complaints. as a fellow designer, some points I&#x27;ve noticed:<p>#Poor selection of font sizes<p>#Poor selection of colors (especially for background)<p>#Poor application of borders (remember, in design, borders portray complexity (in this case, unwanted).<p>#Inconsistent design themes (Search button has borders and gradients and shadows, the rest do not)<p><a href="http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/9383/hhew.png" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;img809.imageshack.us&#x2F;img809&#x2F;9383&#x2F;hhew.png</a><p>It seems to me that the design they had in mind was something iOS7-ish (which is actually good due to the minimal information it shows the user at any point) , but ultimately they ended up with something else more complex, confusing and awful.<p>Either way I wish Yahoo good luck and wouldn&#x27;t dare to judge an entire company based on this design alone.

I prefer hearing about _the reasons_ why something new is not appreciated rather than the usual &quot;the older was better&quot;.<p>The poster of the complaint didn&#x27;t really want to go back to the old My Yahoo. What they want is a new My Yahoo that<p>* use smaller fonts (&quot;Font way too big and no way to adjust.&quot;)<p>* preserve the user-configured layouts (&quot;Apps are rearranged all over the place, and some old ones are no longer available.&quot;)<p>* provide the useful quick previews for new items (&quot;Hovering over news items no longer gives brief synopses.&quot;)<p>* etc.<p>Any discussion about &quot;new vs old&quot; is not going to be constructive. Users should learn to report &quot;what&quot; they want, not just filing generic complains. But treating users as intelligent people that can be taught things may go against the current trend of treating users (especially when customers) as spoiled kids.<p>If I were to deploy such an interface change I would provide a complaints box with these instructions: &quot;0) complain only about one things, you can file as many complaint as you want. 1) Please summarize what you do not like. 2) Please suggest a better alternative. NOTE: generic complains like &#x27;it sucks&#x27; will be ignored.&quot;

I haven&#x27;t used My Yahoo in about 4-5 years since switching to igoogle, but since iGoogle shuts down at the end of the year I just gave My Yahoo another look as I&#x27;ll need a new dashboard&#x2F;news&#x2F;weather replacement soon. The old My Yahoo was hideous, that looked like it accumulated a bit of Bitrot over the years, the new one actually looks like a breath of fresh air, quite polished and well-designed. It&#x27;s more likely I&#x27;ll be switching back to My Yahoo once iGoogle goes out.

The aged old problem of change: there are always people who are against it. Change is what Yahoo! needs, if some people can&#x27;t handle it then maybe they should move on.

This reminds me of an xkcd comic: every change breaks someone&#x27;s workflow. It would have been a good idea to include an opt out feature, though.

Yahoo just broke Yahoo Groups a few weeks ago. The new UI is god awful and makes some stuff impossible (like posting in plain text with proper quoting). It&#x27;s also literally rather broken: author search doesn&#x27;t work at all. Also they are losing and delaying emails at random and have been for weeks, and stopped answering support emails about it.

You can&#x27;t import the extra tabs to the new service? The decent engineering talent has clearly left the building at Yahoo!<p>MyYahoo has been my default RSS reader before there was a google (yes I&#x27;m ancient) and it was a real gem. I have 10 tabs in the damn thing and the idea of those not being easy to transfer is a really great reason to find something else.<p>I guess my real lesson is NEVER trust a third party with the data you love. And I don&#x27;t care if it&#x27;s Google or Facebook I&#x27;m telling you now as you become an older nerd that those services will go the way of GeoCities one day.

I opted into new My Yahoo!, was presented with a preview with a warning as well as an option to go back <a href="https://www.evernote.com/shard/s103/sh/6dff6226-59b4-44e1-8239-35826d9b7bee/42268552ba92610f4e19f1508d723fe5/deep/0/Screenshot%209/20/13%209:56%20PM.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.evernote.com&#x2F;shard&#x2F;s103&#x2F;sh&#x2F;6dff6226-59b4-44e1-82...</a> What did I do wrong?

People hate change. Sometimes warranted, sometimes not.

I don&#x27;t like the color scheme, but other than that it&#x27;s not too bad. Yahoo does need to allow more user customization before they lose too many users. That said, people tend to be more vocal when they don&#x27;t like something. I doubt that those who like the change, or aren&#x27;t bothered by it, are going to make a comment on uservoice.

Ah the vocal minority. As Henry Ford said, &quot;If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses&quot;. Don&#x27;t let a few troglodytes stand in the way of progress. Look at your analytics for approval&#x2F;disapproval, not your inbox.

The issue sfor me are:<p>1) like all the subjects of this link, I can&#x27;t go take a look &amp; decide - they&#x27;re forcing me into it.<p>2) I use Yahoo as a simple new aggregator, with a few small, collapsible boxes for weather, a few sports scores, a couple links. I don&#x27;t need to see images of the sun that take 15% of my screen to tell me tomorrow will be sunny<p>I think the comment &quot;This is MY Yahoo, not YOUR Yahoo&quot; hit it right on target. Add to the fact that their new email system is an unusable disaster, it is sadly time after 15(?) years to dump them

The web interface for Yahoo! Groups is more or less unusable. The admin panel doesn&#x27;t load, can&#x27;t read messages, can&#x27;t approve people - More or Less - its non functional.

I can&#x27;t believe how much of the stuff they put out these days is just flat out broken. How does this get past QA?<p>I&#x27;ve posted this before, but for all the money they have, give me a decently paid position and I&#x27;ll at least make sure things actually WORK
