Question

Since we are going to be forced to use the new Yahoo (yuck) what other Internet portals would you recommend?

Answer 1

gmail, free through Google is a good e-mail system.

Answer 2

I've been with Yahoo since they ate Geocities  (about 10? years) BUT if they haven't fixed the new Yahoo since I was tricked into it some 5 months ago, I'll be switching to Gmail. I hear it's good.

For several days after I was put into the new Yahoo, I struggled to straighten out the mess that it created but finally I found the way to revert back to the original page.

  

I could not set up TV listings, things would not display properly, etc., etc...

At least they were nice enough to give us a heads up.  I guess I'd better prepare to weather the disaster that I'm expecting.

Answer 3

ur not forced

Answer 4

honestly i like the new yahoo i can change the color & have as many modules as i like

Answer 5

Let me add to the confusion...it is Thursday July 10, 2008. On my My Yahoo! page, there is a banner that reads "This version of My Yahoo! will shut down in 4 days." This sure sounds like a forced change to me. I've tried the new version and I don't particularly care for it. So the question remains: how about some recommendations for other portal pages that are customizable and offer an alternative to what some of us feel is a bloated ,unnecessary change  in the My Yahoo! page?

Answer 6

We are not forced. The original is available. Try Gmail if you don't like the "all noo" Yahoo.

Answer 7

We are being forced. I have used My Yahoo since it started years ago. It is being taken away, My home page, which I have used unchanged for over five years is being shut down. I have lost count of how many times I have had to click to avoid my home page being rerouted to the New CRAPPY My Yahoo. In four days I will no longer be able to use my home page. That is the very definition of being forced.

I too am looking for a different portal. There is no way I am staying with Yahoo after this. I have heard there is a portal that donates part of its advertising revenue to progressive and environmental causes, I want to find that one. I am sick of Yahoo trying to be like Evilsoft.
