Yahoo is testing a new home page design which simplifies its personal, shopping, directory and news offerings while also putting more of an emphasis on the Yahoo search engine and its Yahoo search offerings.
In the new version, the six badges or buttons that usually surround the Yahoo logo have been moved down into a services box that also displays links to other areas on its site. The new Y Services box features personal web use and tool links for instant messaging, e-mail, finance, travel, job search and the My Yahoo page.
Here’s a preview screenshot sent to us by a loyal reader:
The move also puts more emphasis on the Yahoo brand and also draws the users eye to the Yahoo search box, making it the focal point of the site. Yahoo has recently been showcasing its Yahoo Search across the entire Yahoo network after dumping Google as their main search result tool and integrating Overture search ads and Yahoo Search Technology into the rest of the Yahoo Channels.
It’s about time that Yahoo put search more in the face of their users, and the home page is the place to put it.

Why forgot Yahoo! to inform us about e-mail service denying?

When a test URL is available, I’ll post it. I doubt they will do that though, they’ll probably just put it up live and shock everyone.

My primary criticism of Yahoo’s current hope page is that it’s hard to find the word/service to click on. I actually use the Yahoo toolbar to navigate their site because the current homepage is too crowded. I agree that a redesign is necessary, I just hope they can do a good job of it. I sure hope they announce a beta/preview so we can give them feedback on it.

The new frontpage for my Yahoo Mail has a terrible layout. Without warning it’s been changed. Now, I have to scroll right to see my list of incoming messages and there’s a big white space on the left of the screen. This scrolling right business is a real pain. I have to do it each time I want to access a message. I can’t find any way to modify or change it. Anyone else have this problem?
