I moved all my feeds over to Google Reader. Took me 1 minute to move about 100 feeds once I figured out how. I didn’t like using it before because I like the old MyYahoo better.

But now that I was forced to switch I’m actually liking it a lot better.
Use list view and view all items. As you read them mark them read.
So glad now that I switched!

Bye Yahoo, it was nice knowing ya!

I totally agree, the idiots have been let loose to screw up everything, people who live and work in windowless rooms and have no concept of the “real world”. Change appearance DOES NOT WORK, is not even active, you click on it and nothing happens, I tried this on three separate browsers, IE, FireFox and Opera.

Fonts are too faint and too small to read. The whole mess is amateurish and you got to wonder how they can pay these idiots any money at all to dream up this abortion. They really are a bunch of “yahoos”— people with too much time on their hands so “let’s go tweak something”!

I am searching for an alternative, I kind of like Excite (but too many ads) lots of nice customization though, also Netvibes shows promise as soon as I can figure out how to add my yahoo favorites to it. One thing for sure, as soon as I find an alternative, they can take this “new” my yahoo and shove it

Thank God. I thought it was just me that hates the new yahoo. I have sent a dozen e-mails to them and not a single reply. I will keep checking this site for info on how to get back to the classic yahoo or changing to a different company.

Here's a screenshot of what I'm currently getting. My notes to self from yesterday are gone and none of my feeds work at all.

Ya if it was just cosmetic it would be different, but 1/2 the functional features I relied on don’t work right now – so what you said: “If it ain’t broke – don’t fix it!”

There’s lots of extra stuff that average Joe consumer may like as far as making it sort of a personalized homepage. But I just want a clean feedreader that lets me quickly scan. Now to me it’s like a pretty home page that’s not functional and doesn’t work well for reading feeds.

Wow – how crappy. We are not MyYahoo users but we’d be just as angry if we were….that is ridiculous that they didn’t give you a fair warning at least or not even that — but gave you the option to switch to the new or stay with the old. Like the saying goes — “If it ain’t broke – don’t fix it.”
