Hi, please let us know how we can improve News further.

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  • Hot ideas
  • Top ideas
  • New ideas
  1. My Yahoo experience has gone downhill steadily last 6 months. Others have said it well. Been a Yahoo regular since the 80s. Goodbye Yahoo.

    Allow users to set Local News location permanently. Proofread news articles so "escape" is not spelled "espace" in the top-of-screen headline. Stop covering everything with loud and splashy ads.

          • the location for local news and weather is different every time i go to my yahoo news homepage. It is like a random location generator

            even though I have a default location entered, the news.yahoo.com page has a different random location for both the local news and weather, everytime i go to that page.

                • I like your WORLD news feature except that your give short shrift to serious news articles with regard to our antipodal friends in Australia

                  Just now, I counted 25 articles regarding Australia and only 2 had news value. The rest were sport related!! Where's the hard news from down under??

                  • I hate, hate, HATE, the new format for the comics.

                    The comics show up so large that they are blurred / distorted because they are displayed at some huge, well above 100% size ratio. Also, because they are displayed so large, many of the panels do not show up on my monitor in their entirety. Therefore I have to scroll up and down a few times just to see and then 'get' the comic. Please change the comics size ratio back to 100% of the artists intended size. And no, the issue isn't my browser or screen settings. Every other web page displays normally, and the screen that lists all…

                    • There used to be a 'Responses to Posts' icon. Where has it gone?

                      At the top of the screen on every page there used to be a 'Responses to Posts' icon so one could keep track of any additional posts to their own comments on a 'thread'. But for some really weird reason (the very core of commenting), this has been deleted. Is it coming back - 'cause if it isn't, neither am I.

                      • Stop "Yahoo Home Page" ad in Yahoo News

                        Please remove the obstructive purple bar at the bottom of the Yahoo News pages. If I am forced to deal with such aggressive, obnoxious marketing, I will find news at some other site. At least make this ad "clickable".

                            • All of a sudden yahoo channels do not play video, commercial will play fine, but then story has sound but no picture on many yahoo channels

                              Recently many Yahoo channels are not displaying video in browsers. You can go to a yahoo channel, the commercial in front will play fine, then the video you came for has sound but no picture. I've found this on just about all the yahoo channels. I have a mac and I use safari, firefox and chrome and it doesn't work with any of these. What's up

                                        • Why Doesn't Yahoo Put Trending News Articles FIrst on Search Engine So People Can Comment?

                                          For trending news articles, Yahoo needs to put its story first on the Yahoo search engine so people can comment on it. Instead people have to scroll through massive numbers of articles from other sources to get to the Yahoo article.
