I am disappointed with the new My Yahoo. Too many bugs and can't-do's. I want the old one?

back. For ex. how to choose themes, change layout, manage content? It has been this way for 2 weeks now! Anyone know of a better more robust home page alternative? Not the google or microsft please.

For English speaking countries (US anyway) you can specify Canadian servers.
In your address bar, copy and paste this URL for "Security" (make it whatever section you prefer once on the alternate servers):
http://ca.answers.yahoo.com/dir/index;_y...=396545660
which so far has not changed format.

If you set the top drop slot "Show"> "All English Questions" you get the feed from all servers (in English), which include the US & others.
(The categories and other resource format/links seem to have remained unchanged.)
Note that on the very bottom of the page are country flags, which you can play around with to see if your country has stuck with the old format.

If this suits you better, you may want to "BookmarK" this page, and modify it's Properties to indicate that it's UK/old style (or whatever you want).

DRAWBACKS:
It does take a smidge more time to load, but for now it seems as the only alternative. Barely noticeable... have patience grasshopper.
It does not work for resorting to the 'old' mail format...that comes from US servers anyway.
