Question

I do not like the new Beta format for My Yahoo. How can I restore my old version of the Home Page? Thanks.?

Answer 1

At the very top of the page, on the right, I see a link that says "Switch to original My Yahoo".  Click it.  Then you get a page that tries to con you into staying.  Click the "Switch Back"

button.

That leaves you on a page that does not tell you what to do next, but if you then enter "http://my.yahoo.com/" in the URL bar by hand, you will see that your old my yahoo page is back.

You MUST enter the whole string "http://my.yahoo.com/".

Don't just shorthand it to "my.yahoo.com" or it will reroute to the new Beta again.

Yahoo does things like this because they are obnoxious.  They keep changing things to "help you", which in fact, are just excuses to pack more advertising and pop-ups onto their pages and make them harder to use.  That's their business model - add advertising, make harder to use, get rid of old fast useful services they used to have.

All this was on FireFox, Windows XP Pro SP2.

Answer 2

I have not found a way to restore the old.  You may see if you can locate how to do it under help.  They may not be a way.  GOOD LUCK
