Headline Market Summary continues to be missing?

Question

I want my Headline Market Summary back! Please!

Headline Market Summary continues to be missing from the tops of my Portfolios.

When Yahoo did some changes to Yahoo finance, some things quit working.

The two things that bother me are

1. Headline Market Summary does not show at top of my portfolios any more.

2. I can no longer change the page color thru windows internet option ,color, for yahoo.

Answer 1

The best advise I can give is to go back to a portfolio view that works.

First: Change your URL to: http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/p?v&k=pf_1.....

Yahoo Singapore seems to be the closest to what we used to have since it has the "Set Alert" link next to "Create Transaction History" in the lower left. 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. . .

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.

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."

Have you reported this problem to YAHOO? I did &the answer short of meaningless. An excerpt follows:

"We assure you that the engineering and production staff for Yahoo Finance have been alerted about this issue.  We are currently investigating this problem and hope to have a resolution shortly."

Answer dated 04/27  or 8 days ago & no progress. Amazing!!!

All must pressure YAHOO. I will write again.
