  1. How about some REAL news?

    Heard of Benghazi? IRS TARGETING? AP Phone record pilfering by the Government? How about All the dumb people out there that don't have a clue who the Vice Presdident is? I blame YOU Yahoo, dumbing down the "news" to cater to brain dead Obama-ites.

    • Try to represent ALL the people in your stories. Don't pretend we on the Right don't exist. Your reporting lacks representation of all user

      Fairer spin on your "reporting". Why not report just the facts as apposed to the obvious Leftist spin?

      • Yahoo! Comments overrun by Hasbara, JIDF, Sayanim, and other zionists

        Stop deleting Yahoo! accounts because pro israel zioNAZI are flooding your News comment sections with Jewish propaganda and anti Islam rhetoric...

        My original Yahoo! account was deleted because the Yahoo! users know that if they report abuse on "I love life" as a post enough times, you will delete an account or posts...

          • Yahoo News Design

            The new Yahoo News design sacrifices Yahoo News strengths. The new design makes it difficult to view a lot of stories at a glance, which used to be a strength. The new design eliminates the ability to sort by news source and drill down to a specific topic (such as Technology -> Wireless).

            My suggestion, re-enable the ability to sort by news source and specific topic.

              • More careful journalism

                From your recent article: "(Disclosure: This reporter counts Rosen among his friends.)"

                That person probably is not the right source to be using in an inflamatory article!

                • Your new format sucks

                  Your newest format change for "News" has had one concrete effect:
                  I will no longer even consider using Yahoo News. Period. I'm done.
                  I can no longer filter my newsfeed by source, the Local feed has been moved to a main front page tab, and is jumbled in no discernible order across sources scattered over a 100 hundred mile area. If I wanted this kind of confusion, I'd have asked a 9 year old o design it.

                  • Can Yahoo News make a go of working out the Flash plug-in issues on it's homepage?

                    How about a Flash-free homepage?

                    I have a MacPro, with 8 GB of RAM and no matter what browser I use (Camino, SeaMonkey, Firefox, OmniWeb, Chrome, Safari, iCab, Stainless..) no matter which one, the Flash plug-ins manage to eat nearly 65% of the processes on ALL FOUR CORES!

                    This is as unacceptable as it is irritating. The issue is ONLY on the front page of the site. What's going on kittens?

                    I CAN set Google News (puke, puke!) as my default if you like.

                    • Local news and home page layout

                      Ditto on the local news. And this (20 May) main page layout is the worst ever. Color of ad is hideous, and I can't see all of the page without resizing my window.

                        • Stop hiding comments

                          The right-wingers can amass numerous thumbs down when anyone disagrees with either them or their Party, so you close the comment which is exactly what they want you to do so the dissent is squelched. Therefore, do not play not play into their dark minds and keeps comments up and visible regardless of how many like minded liars they can call to thumbs down.

                          • the ads on the right and left of the content really distracts the users :(

                            please remove the banner ads (that's what it looks like) from the east and west of the page, please.

                            • I keep getting email from Yahoo Online Services saying I have to respond or my account get cancelled...???

                              The email says something about exceeding my limit and that if I don't respond, that my account will be cancelled. Anyone know if this is a valid email or something else.

                              • Where is the "Notifications Bell"? It was at the top of all Yahoo pages; now it's gone!

                                I use the "Bell" icon at the top of (the older page?) layout... now it's gone and I cannot follow comment that have been made on articles I've commented on. Why do you keep changing the layout - making more difficult for your users?

                                • Please write screens so they can be used on older monitors.

                                  Some of the new news pages are written for people with widescreen monitors. You have to scroll horizontally to see everything if you have an older 4:3 monitor.

                                  EVERY web page should work correctly on a 800 X 600 monitor without horizontal scrolling. This is necessary for older monitors, computers set up to run certain education testing software (e.g. the Compass test), and some of the new phones.

                                          It's been several months since I was able to watch a video on any Yahoo! article. Either it doesn't load or it continually freezes and eventually crashes. I can and regularly do watch videos everywhere else (youtube, facebook, tumblr, etc) but only on Yahoo does this problem occur. It's not coming from my end, so it must be yours.
