- pintong, on 10/12/2007, -6/+29Yep. Photoshop was open to convert the screenshot to a .png
- Greg-J, on 10/12/2007, -3/+23Why an image hosted on an image hosting site needs a mirror is beyond me:

But it does. - pintong, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Only it's not a dupe. Take a look at the screenshot - the Yahoo logo is *red*

This is also different from the other redesign digg:

- redbullflash, on 10/12/2007, -13/+21I see that Photoshop is also open...
hmmmm..... - melmyfinger, on 10/12/2007, -4/+10That's gonna suck for their 800x600 users. I'd find it pretty big news that such a mainstream site is going for a 1024px wide design; basically says to 800x600 users "get a new freakin' monitor!"
Personally, I've always wanted to design my sites to be 1024px optimized but the fact is 1/4th of my visitors are still running at 800x600. Maybe that percentage is small enough for Yahoo that they're going ahead with a wider design? - underburn, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9It would be nice to see yahoo join the new century.
- Rickard, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Every person who has said anything negative about the design has gotten a thumbs down rating. What's up with that?
The new design might not be ugly, but it is mediocre at best coming from a company like Yahoo. They're trying to market themselves as being at the forefront of web technology. Is a decent front web page design too much to ask for? It does NOT look "professional". It looks like a website targeting teenagers. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Looks like MSN search. Not too cool in my tastes. I say yahoo should just cut down on some of the content on their page, and just have search, news, email tabs etc.
- kiltedwonder, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5It's real. That is what I get when I use IE. However, I get the original Yahoo site when I use opera. Could it be that the new look only shows up in IE and not Firefox or Opera?
- MrMickMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Looks too much like MSN, and we know how well they're doing
- SnakeO, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I just switched my User-Agent to MSIE 6.0 in Safari and I got this:

- Tricia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Upon looking at the one posted and the screenshot I just took of the new page I see, I notice they are different. My yahoo logo is red, the page is more blue whereas there's is more white. I guess they are testing out more than one "test page" Heres my screenshot again: http://www.flickr.com/photos/triciataylor/108627209/
- Thorpe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Isn't this the next Yahoo! homepage? (according to Wikipedia)
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a2/Newyahoo.JPG - sintaks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If you head to:
http://www.google.com/search?q=yahoo+%22send+feedback+on+our+test+page&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official
You'll see a bit of cached text that matches the image. However, if you click on the actual "Cached" link... you get nothing... just the original site. Sneaky. - joshduck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Having the site only show up for some IPs is pretty standard, that way they can gauge response without commiting to the change. I like the look, but it seems very close to what MSN have. It would also be the first time they have ditched the logo-in-the-middle design.
For those interested, take a look at Australian Yahoo, they've partnered with a local TV channel and have a nice slick homepage - http://au.yahoo.com/ - koogunmo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2like this?
http://search.yahoo.com/ - Radon22, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Yahoo has looked like this for me on my work PC for 2 weeks now. My home PC shows the old screen. Interestingly enough, other PCs here at work on the exact same router show the old Yahoo page as well. Weird.
- tominator1983, on 10/12/2007, -5/+7Oh, and for the person who called the yahoo re-design "fugly":
Do you have any sense of style at all? Or are you one of those people who wears polka dotted pants and socks with their sandals? Probably have your windows task bar colored black and using courier font, too, huh?
I find it surprising how similar yahoo's new design is to digg's design.
Blue gradient in header: check.
Yellow as secondary color: check.
Little icons everywhere: check.
Small fonts: check. - pintong, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6Thanks for the laugh. It's very real.
- doubleClicks, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5feel like msn...
- pintong, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Possibly. Just to clarify, it's not for all IE users yet:
http://img67.imageshack.us.nyud.net:8080/img67/5945/ieyahoo0js.png - WiBu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I like the header with the red logo; the rest is a bit average.
- trogdoor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3mirror of yours: http://trogdoor.googlepages.com/macyahoo4jt.jpg
- defubar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Definitely looks better. Anything is better than what they have now. I think the main reason I have avoided Yahoo! for so many years, other than the occasional game, is because of the ugly design they have been using forever.
- TheWino, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2heres what mine looks like
http://img529.imageshack.us/my.php?image=yahoo5jl.jpg - wtfunkymonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2crowded, but not as nasty as it is now. i hope they actually us this.
also; i hope it loads a lot faster. learn from google, people. 1 second is the most i'm going to give you to lad a seach page. - ShaolinTiger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2That Aussie Yahoo! looks nice man, clean and informative.
- Coreguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2yes...i think it's the real
- jeremywc, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3I started seeing this at home after I upgraded to the latest beta of Yahoo's IE toolbar for my wife.
- TheWino, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3yea my yahoo looks something like that. its been like a month now :)
- schotty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Agreed. I thought the same thing. Not to say the interface is poor, just very reminiscent of MSN's homepage. Perhaps its a bit cleaner. But .... well you get the idea.
- Saintlink, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5This reminds me of AOL's homepage strangely. Ick, I'd rather stick with the simple Google.com/ig and digg RSS feeds. Even with these portals try to do 'simple' it still is too messy.
- mercuryswitch, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Just because you don't use Yahoo! doesn't mean that everyone doesn't.
Although Google is the most popular search engine, Yahoo! is still being used daily by a large number of people, and not only does Yahoo! provide web search, they provide a plethora of other services, such as email, stock quotes, news, games, etc.
I can't say I've used Yahoo!'s web seach more times than I can count on my fingers within a long time, but it's still a very popular site/search engine. - jugaaru, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Looks good, very clean
- tominator1983, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I like it way better than their current design. I hope they go with this!
- Zukunft, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm also an SBC Yahoo! user. The only difference I can see with my mail is that there's no ads and I have 2 gigs of storage.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1it think it looks great. nice and clean, as much as they could.
- Meshyf, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I really like it. Not as goofy as the old homepage.
- Pocky, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They don't need to upgrade, but I don't see any reason why it is so tragic if they have to deal with horizontal scroll bars. When I use a wide screen monitor for web browsing, it is kind of annoying to be wasting nearly half of my screen real-estate on white space.
Besides, how old are these monitor/video cards we are talking about? I haven't used a computer that was actually limited to something below 1024x768 since the early 90's. I suppose some late 90's laptops may be limited, but for the most part I think the folks running 800x600 today either don't know how to change their resolution, or choose to use a lower resolution due to poor eye sight.
I feel bad for folks whose eye sight causes them to downgrade the resolution on their LCD monitors. Stepping from 1280x1024 to 800x600 just looks terrible, but it is the only way some people can read their screens. Something needs to be done to modern operating systems to decouple resolution from presentation, so that it would be easy to run at an optimal LCD resolution while easily adjusting font size. Browsers have the ability to enlarge page text, but that doesn't help with everything else in the OS. - psneekes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow, this has a striking resemblance with BeOS (the icons, usage of that kind of yellow). It does nog really appeal to me, but seems better than previous low-fi approach
- yellowmello, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2It still has to much ***** on it.
- bobb243, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2bandwidth exceeded :(
- Tricia, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I am seeing the new page in IE only, I see the old one in Firefox.
I uploaded a screedshot as well to my flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/triciataylor/108627209/ - sfields, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Bandwidth exceeded; can't see the screenshot
- victortrash, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is a test page that was being beta'ed some weeks back. I accidentally turned it on, and that stupid page drove me nuts. I couldn't figure out how to go back to the normal page...until I accidentally cleared my cookies and it changed.
- mercuryswitch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I would have asked the person on that lab computer to view the source, and find the location to the white Yahoo! logo, then post the URL to the image :)
