I donīt know if I clicked on something by mistake but my Yahoo page has changed on my desktop but on my laptop itīs the same as itīs always been. How can I get the old style page back on my desk top?

Are the two pages pointed to exactly the same URL (address)? If they are not, you can browse for the correct URL (or copy it from the laptop). Then, if you use Internet Explorer, click on TOOLS | INTERNET OPTIONS | USE CURRENT (button) and that will fix it. If it's something else, you'll have to explain exactly what's changed.

Mine has too. I wish that I knew how to get it back!

Did you try what I just explained? If you have, what (exactly) are the differences?

Are you going to http://www.yahoo.com? There is a "button" labeled "Page Options". Click on that and tell me what comes up underneath it (apparently it varies for different types of accounts). I click on mine and it says "Want More Ways to Customize Your Home Page?". Click on that. These are two different Yahoo pages. The second one goes to "http://my.yahoo.com". They are different pages.

At http://my.yahoo.com, there are lots of buttons allowing you to customize the page. You'll probably have to set your home page to this location (like I mentioned a few messages above), and then customize it to your desires.

Yahoo has changed the design of their homepage. Currently you can use either one. There should be a button somewhere on the page to revert to old layout. But that is probably temporary. My guess is that at some point the new page will be the only one available.

Walt that was what I was thinking but I can´t find the button. I also wonder why it is opening with the old page on my laptop. Perito when I click on your link I get the new page. I´m not referring to "my yahoo". What I don´t like about the new page is there is an extra step to get to my mail. You have to look at a page full of Yahoo stuff before the mail sign in appears.

Pregunta, When the page changed on my computer there was a button to revert back. I have been trying to recreate the page problem to check it. But now I can't get to then new page design. Anyway... since it is only on one of your computers that suggests the difference is on your computer instead of a Yahoo server. Try deleting cookies on your desktop and see if that helps.
