As well, the Yahoo home-page is a mine-field of commercials attached to any news item that might be interesting and their "cartoon" avatars could only appeal to a juvenile. Posting comments is equally unsatisfying when there is no way to respond to those who have posted a reply to comments. Yahoo Groups is another out-dated and tiring template to use and Yahoo's Mission Statement is just inflated bluster from some marketing dreamer who simply can't comprehend the whole-mess from a user's perspective. Have a nice day - somewhere other than Yahoo!

OK that seems fine for Yahoo chat and places I want to be more private.<br /><br />But it reveals my entire birthdate under my primary email address, supposedly only visible to me, marked 'private'-- <br /><br />trouble is; I do not WANT my whole real Date of Birth anywhere on the internet if I can avoid it, because that is a setup for ID theft by outsiders-- and<br /><br />trouble is; I cannot get in there to wipe my DOB! IT WON'T LET ME EDIT-- WTF is *that*?<br /><br />I have avoided signing up for the full meal deal 'Profile' so far, but it looks like it took off without my permissions!! <br /><br />I still keep avoiding New Profile signup at the login page by immediately clicking the Yahoo icon on my Bookmarks toolbar. That takes me to the sidebar menu of Yahoo services and I click 'Mail' which brings me to a login site that does not insist on Yahoo profile signup and make it so you have just about no choice!!<br /><br />From all the bad review I read here one after another, I am going to avoid switching to a new profile as long as I can; This whole thing sounds very fishy to me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21214889512575287.post-29909137646664674582012-03-18T05:58:15.927-04:002012-03-18T05:58:15.927-04:00This new Yahoo is so fucked up how hard is it to u...This new Yahoo is so fucked up how hard is it to understand if something isnt broke dont fix it. pull your head out of you ass.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21214889512575287.post-82160892499428533712012-03-18T04:47:23.226-04:002012-03-18T04:47:23.226-04:00There is no way of viewing your comments anymore. ...There is no way of viewing your comments anymore.
