Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO) is active Tuesday amid a site revamp that has given a fresh, new look to several of its most-popular sections. Thing is, some users don't really like change.
Slashdot today noted that there's a bit of push back for one section in particular: Yahoo! Sports. From a simple and easy-to-read look (here), users now see a graphics-heavy site here.
Many have posted on Yahoo!'s Uservoice site, pleading for Yahoo! to go back to the old format.
Though some might be against layout changes, Facebook goes through the same thing with its users at least once a year, if not more. Yahoo! should probably stick with the new layout in hopes that the content is sticky enough to keep users around.
Shares of Yahoo! are down 2.1 percent.
