Finally yahoo has gone live with their new look interface for its homepage. :ohyeah:

Its surprising that no one has noticed in TE except me or is it available only to a few select IPs :P

Ok here are the few things i noticed in the new home page.

1. No ads.

2. You can choose one of the two options for the looks. first looks like the screenshot shown below. the second looks

like the old yahoo page. but with same looks.

3. You can choose to view the page in one of the five colour option.

4. you can switch back to the old view if you dont like this.

5. lots of ajax....

I'm not patient enough to take screenshots so i have limited to just one sorry guys.

Grrr..
Yahoo is blocking Opera allthough opera fully supports it. I hate this kind of unfair play.
It works if you use these links

Yahoo today released a preview of its newly redesigned website, and for the moment they block the Opera browser.
Users of the Opera browser who visit the new yahoo.com are shown a message saying “Thanks for your interest in the sneak preview of the new Yahoo! home page. Unfortunately, you’re using a browser we don’t support today.” (See screenshot below).
The new Yahoo site currently only supports Internet Explorer (IE) 6 and Firefox 1.5. I’m not sure about Safari.
Using Opera 9’s new “Site preferences” (See: Opera 9 Review), I was able to mask my browser as Internet Explorer, and was able to view the new Yahoo with no problems. All of the new Yahoo pages seemed display fine in the Opera browser. The only problem that I encountered was tv.yahoo.com, which doesn’t display properly in Opera 9 even on the old Yahoo site. But other than that I’ve seen no problem.
Since the new Yahoo site is still in preview mode, Opera users can still access the old Yahoo website.
It’s important for Opera to get this issue worked out, after all Yahoo is one of the most visited websites on the web.
When I spoke with an Opera spokesman a little while ago about the incompatibility between Opera and the new Yahoo Mail, he sounded optimistic, saying “Yahoo applications have worked fairly well with Opera historically, so we are optimistic. Obviously we will contact them immediately if any compatibility issue exists.”
This is where Opera gets bitten for having such a low market share, less than 1% (10 - 15 million active users).
Having a big market share is not just for bragging rights, it’s almost essential for every browser. Webmasters would naturally be forced to make their websites Opera compatible, if Opera were to have a bigger market share.
Is Yahoo becoming the new Google nightmare for Opera users?
