Microsoft decided that a design change was overdue for the MSN webpage which had not had a major redesign done in the past ten years. The new MSN homepage went live in November of last year and many users criticized it. The main point of criticism was the to bright color scheme on the MSN homepage and other pages which made it very hard for some user to read the contents of the page.
If you look at our post about the design change of the MSN homepage back then you notice dozens of comments that all criticize Microsoft and the new website.
The new MSN page has a feedback button at the bottom of the screen that can be used to send feedback about the design change to Microsoft. It is on the other hand unlikely that Microsoft will undo the design changes and revert back to the old MSN design.
But there is thankfully another option – at least currently – for users who want the old MSN back. Point your web browsers to http://msnmember.msn.com/ instead of the main MSN website. You will notice that MSN Members is still using the old MSN color scheme and layout.
It is likely that Microsoft will change the MSN members page design eventually so that it too will use the new layout and color schemes. We keep you informed on the matter and will post updates as soon as we get them.

HI IM JACQUELINE AND I APPRECIATE IF I CAN GET MY OLD MSN BACK CAUSE ITS A LOT OF CONFUSION IN THE NEW ONE TNX HAPPY FIEST
I would like the old MSN page back. I do not like the new one. Please send me how to get it back. Thank you
I am very disappointed in this new design. These imposed revisions are not improvements; they are cumbersome to maneuver and unattractive. Perhaps it is time for me to change to a different web page.
i would like to know how to get my old version of the msn back
e-mail me and let me know how to do this.
thank you
no way
i want the old msn i dont like the new one
PLEASE PLEASE EMAIL ME BACK AND TELL ME HOW TO GET MY OLD MSN HOME PAGE, I AM 75 DO NOT LIKE CHANGE, I LIKE THE OLD ONE
Brilliant move MSN.com! You kept feeding me the new MSN homepage from Nov., but I managed to get the old one back, so stayed with MSN.com, Loved the old page for several years now. However, now that the change is permanent, I’m switching to igoogle or something. Not that I wouldn’t trade anything for the old MSN.com in a moment, but until I find something that is I like as much as the old MSN.com homepage, will have to look for somethings else. To those of us who liked MSN.com, an inconveience at best.
Maybe, marketing data prompted you to make the change, whatever. However, could have at least left those of us devoted to the old page (me?) an option to stay with it. Knew where everything was and liked the design. In fact the new banner page looks like something a prekindergartener could have come up with (though, in my opinion, they probably could have decidend on a better design a better job). Maybe some setting like choose your preferences (i.e., new or old) might have worked
Perhaps Google will design something for us to replace the old MSN.home page.
Goodbye MSN.com. Its your website and you’re free to choose who you appeal to and who you throw under the bus. Also, no offense intended to the people who designed the new webpage. I’m sure it will appeal to a lot new perhaps even aold users and has some good features.
Anyway,　Goodbye to the old MSN.com homepage. a good friend and homepage over the last several years.
I do not care about the new MSN Homepage. First of all it takes forever an about 7.5 days to load each time upon return of email or any other PC Web page. I am ticked off an I want to know where the CEO’s head is and was at when this new page was apparently designed. In some slotmachine after they may have won on the nickel slot with three giraffes or someplace? I do not like and believe a overhaul is destined, I pray and hope.
Although don’t like the design of the new MSN.com homepage, after messing with the customization features at the top, I found that I could get a reasonable facsimile of the old home page, including a blue banner replacing the color crayon headers at the top. but, I couldn’t find out how to get the listings at the top back, which were convenient. I do think MSN.com missed a shot at not loosing a lot of users by not saying something like “like the old homepage? You can recreate it using our customization feature,” etc., Also, since the new page is customizable, they could have gone a step further allow you to recreate the old home page exactly as you like it, for the people who don’t like new home page. However, this will do for now as long as they don’t decide to eliminate this customization feature as well. The result came out as http://msnmember.my.msn.com, but I believe you can change the name.
I was mad in Nov when this new homepage came up but it went away a few days later. Had I known msn was going to this new homepage permanently I would have started looking, in Nov., for a diffrent homepage that I liked. I really like the old msn homepage. With the new msn homepage I might as well not bother having a homepage, it sucks. How do I get the old homepage back???
If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. Hate the new MSN home page!
msnmember.msn.com has been updated now as well.
PLEASE PUT BACK ASAP THE OLD FORMAT FOR MSN OR ILL WILL CHANGE MY HOMEPAGE AND WEB SITE…….
Even http://msnmember.msn.com/ has been chnaged to the new layout.
Looks llike we’re “stuck” with what looks like a less informative page vs. the old one.
I want my old msn page. It’s easier to read and find what I want. Why change something that doesn’t need changing.
I WANT THE OLD MSN PAGE!! IF I CAN’T I AM GOING TO SWITCH TO YAHOO OR CNN!!!! THANK YOU…………..JOHNNY
want my old homepage back.I dont like the change,its confusing
i HATE THIS NEW MSN SITE THE BRIGHT LIGHT HURTS MY EYES I AM GOING TO CHANGE MY HOMEPAGE..
please i do not like this neq msn so please put it back like it was ok
the new msn page is very unattractive as well as difficult to surf through if you are a novice . I hve made aol my home page after religiously using msn on all of my systems.
i really don’t no how to use the new msn juz seeing e-mails and creating a new mail can be so difficult!! i need to send an urgent mail out but i can’t i hope msn can revert the new version back to e old one….i don’t like the new one
old version pls!!
I get the feeling that MSN has the same attitude as our politicians do these days, and that is that they know better and other opinions do not matter.
I really liked the old MSN hotmail but know that had to change? It was so easy to work with like to put a picture or file in the e-mail I just dragged or copy/paste in the e-mail. Now it has to go thru a server to get it attached in the e-mail and most the time it doesn’t come out right or get delivered in entirety? Maybe that change was done to make it more secure or whatever reason. If it was security I do not see how adding another location and several more steps could make it more secure that is not true.
Maybe it was one more way to track and monitor people more. I have heard a theory that Bill Gates has become a government person just short and yet far above a politician in the common sense. That may explain the push for things like silverlight which is not far complete peer to peer.
Looks like privacy is going away. for those that say they have nothing to hide wait till they are trying to do something and there is a person who can access their data. Good luck with your future court battles against the politicians or government cause they will know your every move right or wrong, even if they are the ones that are wrong that kind of advantage makes a lot of difference.
Anyhow I would like to say that I loved the old page the layout was fantastic for seeing all news at a glance then just a matter of a click to go where I wanted. It really stinks now and I only go there to check my mail which I may change to the new site I find to call home. I no longer go to the MSN site as home. Maybe it is time for someone new to stepup and offer what you have left behind and bring back the “old style” MSN webpage.
Thanks for the new improved page maybe it will catch on for some people. Not for me though. I guess it will be time for many to say good bye to MSN, Shame I have been going there since its conception.
i hope as soon as possible i get my old msn back tnx regards jacqueline happy fiest
change is good ……..your new page not so good……less info .too bright and light

I Know A Way To Do It www.waybackmachine.org
really hate the new msn homepage, i want the old page back. i really think in this day and age we should have the option
can get the old homepage back but wont stay as default, just the new piece of tat. come on somebody must know how. would like to meet bill gates in a dark alley lol
At least have an option to view the old layout. The new layout seems like there is a lot less content.
I resent some know-it-all decides that what I have is not good for me and without consulting me changes everything. I paid $69 to keep the homepage I had and you punks change it. I want my old home pate back. If you won’t do that, I may ask for a refund and go with Comcast. Since Quest has been taken over by ????? it has been nothing but a big mess up.
Type www.mymsn.com into the address bar. The MSN web site comes up 2nd, under “did you mean my msn. Now click on to the MY MSN under the main web title,and the old msn will come up.Now put the link into your Favorites for the next time your home page gets hijacked.
