Question

I do not want popups enabled. How do I go back to my old "my yahoo"?

Answer 1

Enable pop-up blocker:

For IE

Go to Tools >> Pop-Up Blocker >> and select "Turn on pop-up blocker" option.

For Firefox

Go to Tools >> Options >> Content Tab

Select the "Block pop up windows" option, then click OK

Get back to Classic My Yahoo:

You should see a small link "Switch to original My Yahoo!" in the upper right hand corner of you My Yahoo page (there is also a small link at the very bottom of the page)

--Click on this link and a confirmation page will come up.

--Click on the "Switch Back" button and you should be back to your old (classic) My yahoo page.

If that doesn't work, try

http://cm.my.yahoo.com/switch

This works for most people (myself included and I switch back and forth all the time). If on your next visit, you are greeted with a promo page asking you if you wish to see your new beta page, click on the small "cancel" link and this should switch you back to your classic styled Yahoo page.

NOTE: As per a previous answerer, who claims to have called Yahoo support and was told: "The old page is permanently gone." I am still using it, so I know that is not the case for everyone (at least at this time), so it is possible that your old Classic version may be gone permanently.

Hope this helps.
