Go to their search engine and the menus do not appear, wave your mouse then you can use news search.

What a blue LED idea >:( >:(

Utter crap

Yahoo is now full of crud so is unpleasant to use.

However alta-vista is still clean and clear.

Funny to see the original search engines are still in the game. :y

What browser?

Looks disturbing in FF

FF, but i am logged in. Just loaded it in Safari which i don't use that much, it was blank to begin with but then it all popped up as it logged in. (automatically)

Using FF, It's pants .. nothing appears until your mouse pointer is on the "main" screen then it all fades in. Then it works as it used to.

It wasn't broken but they've tried to fix it .. and gone backwards into design over function crap


Only seems to have started since the "upgrade" to 3.5.6 ... but could be coincidence

:(

That crap pulled 47% utilisation on my work PC

using private browsing think i see what you mean...no menus till you move the mouse (a tiny bit)

hardly a showstopper imho  :-?

A lot of people dislike it.

I find it disturbing - like I find animated menus disturbing

Took a fraction of a second here, soon as i moved my mouse as jimbob says.

For searching, I find this site quite useful http://www.ixquick.com/uk/

Especially if searching for something, unusual shall we say.  :y

the default firefox google page is unchanged...

Doesn't happen in IE 6..   :)

Not upgraded IE as I found that TIS and EPC won't work in higher with compatability mode - well my versions won't .. :)

You never mentioned you use another browser  ;) Only that you never upgraded due to applications.

I need to change IE8 back to 6 on my home PC - work is IE6 or FF3 - the email/fax client requires IE6

Nope - google think it is cool to slow down email newsgroup and news searches.

I use gooogle at work mainly to search news and newsgroups.

My work PC is pretty old but plenty of RAM it does development fast enough.

No problems here.  I like it.
