redsquirrel Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I left yahoo a long time ago, due to their setup and crappy spam filter etc. I use gmail for my everyday email and only use my yahoo for shopping, newsletters etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I only have a Yahoo account for the purpose of being able to access Yahoo Groups. I don't use it for email, so I haven't noticed those changes. But I hate what they've done to Yahoo Groups recently. As does pretty much everyone else from what I can tell. For email, I use Gmail.

Guest submarines Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I hate it! Now it is more like gmail, and I hate gmail. I'll have to somehow cope, I guess. I can send attachments, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TravelingChris Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I haven't had any change in at least a year or maybe even longer. Yahoo mail is my main email thougth I do have gmail but hardly use that at all. Anyway, I have no problems reading my emial, responding, including attachments or anything else.

Dandelion Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Are you guys still on email?! That's so last century! ;) :lol: Maybe Facebook secretly bought out all the email providers, and is now systematically making email so painful that everyone will eventually quit in disgust and go running to Facebook. It's probably part of some big, nefarious conspiracy. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acorn Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I did find a way to turn off the "conversations", but that doesn't help the colors and bold titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Marple Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Yes, Yes, and YES!!!! It's so much harder to read. It looks more like my gmail account which I don't use very often because I find it difficult (old eyes and all) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milovany Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 What changes? I have three accounts and haven't seen changes. Maybe I have mine set up on classic view or something. One thing I did notice recently is that it's harder to log out, which is frustrating (instead of just clicking Sign Out, you have to do a pull down and then click -- and usually it doesn't take the first time so I have to do it again. Bleh). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in NH Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Another hater here. I found a place on Yahoo to complain about it. I'm hoping that if enough people complain they'll put it back the way it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 You can add a different email to your Groups account, and set it as your main one. Then any emails through Groups can be delivered to that email. Mine comes through Gmail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catherine Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Hater here too-big time. And I am generally never a hater! I can't follow threads anymore-I'm opening what appears to be an email and it's actually an entire thread that I haven't seen yet. I don't know why. Please, how DO I turn off "conversations"? I'd much prefer to have individual emails sent as before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest submarines Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 After I turned off the "conversations" I'm back to being okay with it. There are font options under "Settings", but I haven't changed them because I'm okay with mine and I didn't want to mess with them. Sigh... It takes me forever to adjust to those changes. However, I *hated* it so much when this board got changed that I considered leaving, and now I'm so used to it, I don't even remember how it was before. :lol: Windows 8, on the other hand, I can't get used to still, after months and months. They don't drive me into irrational rage anymore, but oy, I'm not pleased with the product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matryoshka Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 hate, hate, hate. Thanks for letting me know how to turn "conversations" off - that does help. What I really want is my Classic mail back. I avoided all the updates for years and years, even with repeated threats, until a couple of months ago when they actually shut it down and I was forced to update or not be able to log back in anymore. Now that I've got "new mail" apparently they just update things automatically. :glare: I was still annoyed with what to me was a "new" interface and now they've made it yet worse. Why is it every time they say they're making things "better" it's actually the other way around? At least those stupid tabs appear to be gone - that is an improvement.

Tree Frog Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Windows 8, on the other hand, I can't get used to still, after months and months. They don't drive me into irrational rage anymore, but oy, I'm not pleased with the product. My husband was looking at getting a new computer this week and found a buyer could "upgrade" to Windows 7 if he/she didn't want Windows 8.

Tree Frog Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 At least those stupid tabs appear to be gone - that is an improvement. I miss the tabs. Using them, I could be writing an e-mail and flip easily between other e-mails. Now I can only look at one e-mail at a time and if I'm writing an e-mail and want to refer to a different one, I have to save the draft, look at the other e-mail, close it, and reopen the one I'm writing. It's very frustrating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree Frog Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I think there are more advertisements. I find them very annoying, especially the bolded one at the top. My eye gravitates to it before it sees my unread e-mails because it's darker. Also, when the e-mail is opened, I don't know why it tells me who it's to. It seems obvious that if I received it, it must have been sent to me. I find it all too busy. It's difficult to differentiate between e-mails before I open them, unopened ones aren't obvious, and there is extraneous information I don't need that just makes the screen look busier. I wish there were some way to change it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree Frog Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I just discovered you can change the mail back to something similar to what it was before. Go to "settings" under the gear at the right side of the screen and click on "viewing e-mail". At the bottom of the screen is the choice to go to basic mail version; click on it. I did that and when I looked to compose an e-mail, I noticed I couldn't change the font type or set, bolding, italicics, or underlining. I could attach a file to the e-mail. I think what I'll do is leave it in basic for day to day reading, but if I need to write an e-mail, I'll switch it to the new e-mail. I don't write that many e-mails, so it won't be a problem for me. I didn't know we could drag and drop attachments in the new format. Even though I haven't used it yet, I think I will like that feature.
