Yahoo News Changed?

Hey there,

I have been getting the Yahoo News for a while now, but suddenly they changed format and it is very terrible. Now you have to go through many pages just to read one news article!

Any suggestions?

Its two taps now to read article content from the front page. Is that really a big change? Most sites do this anyway (Wired, BBC News, etc.). What was it like before?

dreamriver, sorry there is nothing really you can do to change it back.

I see what you mean... multiple pages of article titles, and then multiple pages for each article also. Not so clean.

An alternative is to set up a http://my.yahoo.com page and iSiloX it. But unless you can process the page to remove the left hand column and other "garbage", you'll have to scroll way down to get to the content you want.

I'd love to see a feature where you can automatically position a page a certain number of lines down when it loads. That would handle content with a consistent left hand column of junk.
