Yahoo mail and facebook

It's been upgraded!

Well, I say upgraded loosely. If that means taking an age to load mails, then another age to open them, if they have an attachment, well go off and make a brew before it's scanned for viruses and such like!

It wasn't broke before so why fix it! :mad:

Same goes for the new facebook! :mad: I wasn't a massive user but this 'new improved' site is dire. Nothing is the same, the page moves when you move yor mouse, it's very hard to navigate as well.

I suspect my visits to FB will be even less now!

    My yahoo mail's fine. Are you sure it's not your connection/hardware?

  • Facebook is going to have another massive change on 3rd October, your profile will look completely different and everything you've ever posted on it will be accesible in chronological order for all your friends to see, I have a developer account so have seen the preview.
    If at first you don't succeed, maybe bomb disposal isn't the best career choice.
  • there is a privacy / account setting tho where you can restrict access to old posts on FB now tho I think?

    I wish work would upgrade our browser so I can just use google+

    You can hide old posts, but it's a faff on and you can only do one at a time.

    Sounds like your computer is having trouble.......though site redesigns usually do suck.
  • I was really struggling with my yahoo account last night too. I was adding a load of new addresses to my contacts and trying to put them in an existing group and it took forever, and a lot of the time I got error messages up too. I thought it was just me!
  • I tried several times last week to make a contacts group but failed - miserably! :mad:

    Also, I sent a few pix from my phone to it and instead of it coming up as an attachment the pix was there without opening. Makes it a pita to save :mad:

    Yahoo is still OK for me too, and I find the new Facebook is annoying too:)

    Thanks for this.. Is there any way of seeing what pages and groups will look like with the new look ?
