    Resolved [RESOLVED] How do I stop http://m.www.yahoo.com/ from loading?

    Lately whenever I type in www.yahoo.com I am always taken to what appears to be their mobile site http://m.www.yahoo.com/. I looked on the web page and see no way to revert back.

    Does anyone know how I can get back to the regular yahoo page?

    Thanks,

    Doc

    And when I click on Jim's link I get:

    Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
    Yahoo is testing a new layout, but it is not hitting all users at the same time.

    "M.yahoo.com" (or another country's equivalent) is not the yahoo.com version for mobiles, but a new site layout which is tested on a couple of users without asking them for their consent first. Some users like it, but most don't. Many are upset as they cannot get to their mails without clicking many different links before they get to read anything. One user reports that he was told he can't get the layout changed. His reaction: he simply made his mail account his homepage and bookmarked the other Yahoo services. Well, I've been doing this for a long time myself as I want to be able to choose which Yahoo services to use and how to use them...

    Thanks for the information as I thought I was going crazy.

    I tried http://69.147.76.15/ and it took me back to the "regular" yahoo page rather than the new page yahoo is testing that Train got using that address.

    "Old" Yahoo website address now redirected to m.Yahoo

    Just so everyone knows, this web address http://69.147.76.15 NO LONGER takes you to the old Yahoo website. I tried it and it redirects you to the new m.yahoo.com website. So much for that.

    What does still work is http://www.yahoo.com?nm=1 (until Yahoo figures this out and changes it as well).

    I HATE the new website and refuse to use it. I will continue to try to find ways to get to the old website, and hope others will too.
