Why did yahoo change it's format?i hate it and want the old one back what do I have to do to get it back?
To go back to the previous version: 1. Click on the gear at the top right corner of the screen. 2. Click on "settings" in the drop down list. 3. Click on "Viewing Email". 4. At the bottom where it says "Mail Version", click on "Basic."
I wish to change back to yahoo classic mail immediately; the new format sucks.?
Jose...the email design you keep referring people to is NOT the last email version. The only option now is to go back to a BASIC version which is also awful. The BASIC does not have any editing toolbar to do a spell check, change font size, bold, underline, etc. You can't open up multiple email messages at the same time via the TAB function that was in the version prior to this diasaster. When composing an email in the BASIC version you have to click on 'contacts' to insert an email address, rather than just type in a few letters and get the contact listing to pop up. So no, the BASIC version does not take you back to the email version prior to this new one. Both are not good, functional email formats.
How do I return to the former Yahoo maiol?
I hate this new Yahoo mail. Searching for prior messages is impossible; things that should NOT go into Spam are going into Spam; the format is impossible for me to read. I want my old Yahoo mail back!!!
How Can I change Yahoo home page back to prior 2/20? I do not like the new format.?
Sorry Matt, but what you're seeing is Yahoo's periodic "update " it does every so often to its front pages. Every time it's done quite a few users (like yourself) write in to complain and ask for the old page back to no avail. Its something they're going to do twenty or three times a year ajdbwe don't have any say in the matter.
How do I get my old yahoo mail back I hate the new one. It just gives the time something was sent not the dat
How do I get my old yahoo mail back. I didn't click on any thing to change it. I imagine Yahoo just went ahead and did it. It doesn't allign the emails correctly and when something is sent to me it just has the time not the date. I just hate it. Plus instead of the word Bulk it has spam. Hate it. I don't like change on my yahoo mail at all.
The format of my portfolio in Yahoo Finance has recently been changed. How can I get it in the old format?
The "experts" at Yahoo did it again - trying to fix something that wasn't broken. The view that existed before this one worked just fine - you could print a portfolio with about 40 entries on it with IE7 by selecting the stuff you wanted, go to print preview, view as selected on screen, adjust size scaling, landscape format and you got a nice spreadsheet-type printout for your historical records all on one page. The new view effectively double-spaces the data lines and you must shrink the effective font smaller in order to fit it on one page. Of course they asked for user opinions before doing this, I'm sure. . . Personally, I liked the previous portfolio printouts that I used to make because they came out in a very nice table with solid black header labels, block printed like an Excel spreadsheet. One can only hope that they will look at all of the negative comments that have been posted about the "New View."

This works for now, but the chances are that corporate will eventually cram their "New and Improved" format down everybody's throat, worldwide. Sounds like a classic "Dilbert Syndrome" with too many pointy-haired bosses. . .
Why is Quora so successful as a question-answer website, given that it was pretty late to the game and similar sites failed in the past?
This is an interesting question, and I think User-9321647196036314135 has the main point, which is that Quora provides dimensions of a social experience that neither of the other two attempts mentioned in the question did--their design was relatively two-dimensional, which would have been OK if superlative answers were available, but they were not.To take Erik's point one step further, I think that part of Quora's success has been to retain and attract a very high level of users in terms of knowledge base and writing skills, and that this comes about partly because the social dimension of Quora provides a kind of intrinsic motivation to answer questions in ways that are thorough and interesting--a sort of virtuous cycle. When an answer I provide is upvoted by someone whose own work on Quora I follow and respect, it provides an incentive to keep using Quora, in the same way that finding a really interesting and nuanced discussion of a particular question does--often one about which I have only small knowledge beforehand. There are a lot of facets to Quora that are partly social in nature--the comment feature, the ability to message others, the ability to blog and follow blogs--and yet Quora has managed to bound these elements in a fashion that prevents the site from falling into the pitfalls of FaceBook, on the one hand, and Reddit, on the other.I almost started doing answers on Yahoo Answers, a few years ago--there was some pay involved, but it was tiny compared to what I generally make in my spare time from consulting--and I realized that there would be no pleasure in the work for me because of the way the interface worked and the very thin opportunities for dialogue and intellectual exchange it offered.Quora strikes an extremely interesting and nuanced balanced between the social and the intellectual, and I am sure that managing this balance as it grows will be a challenge. For me, it has been a place where I can hang out with other intellectuals, learn a lot and share knowledge in a way that gives me some pleasure, and experience just the right amount of social interaction--not very much, but enough to humanize the experience and make it something more than merely an exercise in participating in an online Q & A site.
