I am from Chicago and I get the same website. I don't care for the scroll over links on the left because whenever I scroll down the page to read an article something else pops up. Does have a better look though. Don't like that the weather is at the bottom.
yeah..i also experience the same when i go to yahoo home page. but it happens sometimes to me, not always.
I was a keen user of gmail but, Yahoo's new layout and it's service dragged me towards yahoo. Yahoo is improving at rapid pace.
The new look of Yahoo looks so fine.. I love it... but I am still using gmail... what do you mean the Yahoomail?
