Yahoo! has told thousands of users who are complaining about the Purple
Palace's pisspoor redesign of its Groups service that it will not be
rolled back to the old format - despite a huge outcry.

.

The Marissa Mayer-run company revamped Yahoo! Groups last week, but it was
immediately inundated with unhappy netizens who grumbled that the overhaul
was glitchy, difficult to navigate and "severely degraded".

.

In response, Yahoo! told its users:

.

We deeply value how much you, our users, care about Yahoo! Groups ... we
launched our first update to the Groups experience in several years and
while these changes are an important step to building a more modern Groups
experience, we recognise that this is a considerable change.

.

We are listening to all of the community feedback and we are actively
measuring user feedback so we can continuously make improvements.

.

But the complaints have continued to flood in since Yahoo! made the tweak
by changing its "classic" (read: ancient) interface to one dubbed "neo"
that appeared to have been quickly spewed on to the interwebs with little
testing before going live.

.

And - while the company claimed it was listening closely to its users
about the new look Yahoo! Groups - it has ignored pleas from thousands of
people who want it to reverse the update.
