I agree.  The Yahoo stock message boards are now close to useless.  With the current Yahoo message board design, it is impossible to read replies to messages in chronological order, impossible to search inside messages, impossible to search for messages by a particular author, and impossible to distinguish between individuals who have the same first name.  The charts are nice, but I think there will be an overall exodus of Yahoo financial message board users and a corresponding drop in advertising revenue for Yahoo.  After the previous Yahoo message board redesign, there was a mass exodus of Rambus message board users from Yahoo to InvestorVillage.  After the latest Yahoo message board redesign, there might be a much larger migration across all financial message boards from Yahoo to other sites.  Even the spammers will abandon the Yahoo financial message boards.
