The new yahoo/vpfree format sucks

Is it just me?

When I finally got used to Facebook, they screwed it up.

When I finally got used to Flicker, they screwed it up.

When I finally got used to Google Groups, they screwed it up.

When I learned how to get Tweets all combined and fed into an RSS client, Twitter put a stop to RSS.

And now yahoo/vpfree. It sucks. I hate it.

DIE NERDS DIE! Tweet THIS!

Agree, the new format does suck. Yahoo is in financial trouble. Might have something to do with future premium service based on old format - but at a price.

Either I didn’t figure out the old format well, or this new one is a HUGE improvement. It’s not perfect, but I am not rereading tons of older posts below the newest post like I was in the old format. Or seeing bunches of these:

Yes, corporate websites suck and most are very user unfriendly. Web designers and coders must keep changing them otherwise they are not needed and loose their jobs. This disturbs most users, but how many CEO's listen to their customers, they really only listen to their CIO or outsource web services company.

Just for this am's example. We live at a Delta airlines hub so we are stuck with their service. But every time we try to look around for flight times, etc. for a trip it continuously "times out" and we have to log in again. To actual book a flight (and we travel a lot) we have to log in maybe a half dozen times because their website is so slow bringing up the flights it goes past their very short time frame their web designers set for timing out your login. Very user unfriendly but do you think the CEO ever books his own flight, if he did he'd fire his Web IT staff.

Dear Dave et al,

What’s going on with vpFree? I can’t get on the database or find anything I want. How did you make it work for you? Thanks!

Yours for good vp,

John

What I find the most frustrating is when a message loads and within less than a second the whole thing disappears and turns into an ellipsis. It happens on both my ipad and laptop. Doesn’t happen too often, but frequently if it happens once, it happens repeatedly.

Didn’t know an ellipsis “is a series of dots that usually indicate an intentional omission of a word, sentence or whole section from the original text being quoted…”

Use it all the time :slight_smile:

Yahoogroups has fallen in love with 'em.

Maybe (Admin’s reference to the) upcoming Neo version will make all better.

Can’t swear to this, but I believe if you click on the ellipsis the suppressed text will expand again.
