Annoying Things

[ithildin]

I hate the new Yahoo mail. In their desire to be like Gmail, they've ruined what I liked about them. For months, they gave you the option of using the old or the new, but a few weeks back, it was new or nothing. I hate that each email you click on opens in a new tab, and that my inbox/folders defaults to the first page instead of the last. So far, I haven't found a way to make it not do that.

My tags on LJ no longer autofill. Not sure if it's the new version of Firefox or the new version of LJ add-on. I was never sure where the autofill originated in the first place. But wherever it came from, I miss it.

My keyboard! The keys don't press in smoothly, they're lopsided. I'm not the best typist at the best of times, but this makes it worse. Usually Logitech makes a great product, but the keyboard keys on their newer keyboards need work.

Gmail doesn't open email in a new tab:).
Wrong keyboard annoys greatly, I know:(. Though sometimes you get used to it:).

No, I meant all the changes they seemed to think they needed to make. I think it's flash based, or something like that. Though at least Yahoo isn't doing the threaded thing. It's the reason I loathe Gmail. It just feels Gmailish.

I think you can get email to open in a window below or next to the mail list, like it does in hotmail. It's when you double click that it gets opened in a new tab - well, at least for me. I don't remember what setting I chose to get this, but I can look once I have some extra ti,e.

I've been through the options and haven't found anything I like (not that the offer many options) I'm not a fan of the preview pane, but it may be preferable to the way it is now.

I suppose I shouldn't gripe about something that's free, but I've been happy with them for 15 years - why screw it up?
