A little more room for you.

Here’s another page option. Choose the “small search box” setting which not only reduces the size of the search box, but brings everything up a little higher on your page. Sometimes, a bit more space can make a difference…

(Personalize this page > Appearance: Searchbox size > Small)

Also, some of you who already found the small search box option wanted a timestamp at the top of the page (thanks for all the suggestion board additions and blog comments). We’ve added it for you, so now you can quickly see when your page was last updated.

    This is a step in the right direction. I’m still wrestling with the wrong location tho. Weather still insists on showing Meridian, ID instead of Minneapolis despite changing all location info a week ago in the Personalize section.

    thank u

    As far as THEMES go, I think that professional & collegiate team themes would be a big hit.
    Go STEELERS!

    Hate the new home page. Not only is it argumentative and slow, it looks like a web hosted hijack page, not super “entertainment” network progress.

    Great. You gave us more space up top and ruined everything else. You moved the ad from where it was easily ignorable to the main body. Brilliant! Now people like me will have to scroll past it to read what we came for. I’m sure you’ll get more clicks – because we can’t ignore it. It pushes everything we want to see on the page below the fold.

    Love the direction of the new search box and nav, hate the new, immovable ad placement and the other box that can’t be moved.

  11. [...] Making room: My Yahoo! now offers a “small search box” setting to help minimize the search box up top. It even moves everything up a bit higher, so you have more page to fill with what you want. We’ve also added a time stamp option at the top of the page so you know exactly when you last made an update to the page. One less thing to keep track of. Read more from the team here. [...]

    I really like the new Yahoo Mail & My Yahoo features. The personalization features of this version really make it feel like my own place on the web. More themes would be nice, like collegiate teams, specific pets, cultural pride, or personal background picture. Also, how about a module to read the feed from the 360 blogs of your friends? What about in the “add a page feature” the added page can be your 360 blog page or the new system you all are creating. I do hope that it improves upon 360 like the new Mail & My Yahoo areas improved. If it just tries to copy that other blog space I’d rather keep 360; it is so much more user friendly. I can’t wait to see the new version. Keep up the good work.

  13. Thanks yahoo… you are my number one email address provider… cheers!
