    • Allow me to control the content of my home page to reflect my interests, not those of some worthless Hollywood gosip writer.

      Your auto play videos cycle through and cause people to post comments on the wrong stories. This is only mildly irritating compared to things like a banner for fantasy football at the bottom of my screen which I can't get rid of.

      My greatest irritation is that when I come to my Yahoo home page for news, the entire top selection of stories are ALWAYS about Britney, Charlie, Lindsay, Kim, or some other totally worthless piece of trash in whom I have zero interest.

      I want to be able to arrange MY home page with MY preferred news sources, NOT…

        • Eliminate comment trolls.

          It would be so appreciated if a user could create a personal list of commenters to block. I get so tired of seeing pithy statements that contribute nothing to a discussion.

          • Yahoo News should stop presenting articles containing words I cannot write in the comments

            Whether the words are profanity or some other words Yahoo deems objectionable (you can't even write "**** sapien" in comments for crying out loud), it is hypocritical of Yahoo to give the green light to ~articles~ that do not also meet the objectionable word criteria.

            Take the recent articles on the Russian band "***** Riot" -- you can't even post the band's name in the comments, yet they will even say te name on PBS Newshour without batting an eye. So it's time for Yahoo to either grow up, or apply the same censorship evenly to authors and commenters alike.

              • I have my.yahoo.com. Please do not use popups to ask me if I want yahoo as my homepage.

                I already have my.yahoo.com as my home page. Please check my cookie before you continuously annoy me with your popup bar asking me if I want yahoo as my homepage. It is extremely annoying regardless of my homepage setting but since I already have it set to one page on your site, it's doubling annoying that you don't check first by reading your own cookie. Do you actually have any creative or intelligent people who work at Yahoo? And you wonder why your website and company have gone nowhere.

                Ps. why do you need my email address again if I'm…

                    • Yahoo, you need to stop the HATE comments. The bigotry that goes on in comments is despicable and irresponsible. Cant moderate? then lose it

                      People that create Racist or bigotted names should be blocked. The hate comments are always about political issues. I dont need to be harassed and insulted and offended every time i come to read an article on your site. Whether Im a Jew, or Black, or a Liberal, or Gay...I should not be subjected to HATE speech on your website. If you cant moderate it, then dont allow comments. You only provide a forum for people to spread their hate. and you know it...shame on you...

                      • You place the captions over the photos and sometimes cover the key part of the photo.

                        Place the individual photo captions above the individual photo galleries in the big black space above them, thereby allowing us to see the entire photo..

                          • Is a commercial needed before each and every news video? It's so irritating..!!

                            Play one commercial for every 5 news videos watched at a time.

                            • Post the story about the reporter you [supposedly] fired this morning. Why is everything on your site ALWAYS pro-Obama and pro-Democrat?

                              BTW: I'm one of many voters who is currently Undecided on who to vote for. I'm trying to get both sides, but it's nearly impossible with such biased sites as yours.

                              • Why are the News For You stories on my right side of the page ALL sports related?

                                I would like a more balanced News For You feature on hte right side of my screen. Right now, and for the last few weeks it is ALL sports related. As I am not a sports fan, I find this feature annoying.

                                  • I have a yahoo home page. Your Yahoo news people are obviously pro-Obama. Your news makes NPR look like conservatives. I am about to dump

                                    you do need to balance your news. you are so pro Obama it is a joke. NPR is balanced and middle of the road compared to you. You fall into the category of CNN where Fox is way out on the right. We need objective balanced news

                                      Dear Yahoo! I am very frusterated with your coverage (lack there of) of Presidential Candidate Gary Johnson. Regardless of you not covering him or showing him even in the polls, He has a very strong following of Americans who have woken up to what is really going on. We will be the individuals voting for Gary Johnson on November 6th, we are THE future and by publishing **** articles about "Organic being no better then GMO" and by NOT covering ALL 3 candidates you are proving yourself to be an untrustworthy and bias (clearly bought out) media source. I like…

                                        The Yahoo News Department is not a neutral, professional organization. It is promoting more of the same nightmares we have had to endure for the past 4 years. Spread the WORD. Drop Yahoo from your email use and visiting their out of date search engine. If you think that 23 million americans out of work is a great thing then vote for 4 more years of Obama taking this country into Communism. That is who his mentor was. The number one Communist in America in the 1900's and if you check it all out you will find out why you…
