Looks the same for me also. Last big change was about a year ago when they went with the new look.

I've been seeing it for about a week now. Shows on one of my computers but not on the others I use/have access to.

I'm pretty sure the new drop down box next to the search box is fairly new.

they've been trying out different faces for a period of time,maybe as far back as June, I don't recall exactly when it started.

Typically, each sample face comes with a link to give feedback. I've responded favorably a time or two when the proffered face had a low level of dancing ads and unfavorably whenever the mega-ad faces dance all over the screen. What can I say, if I want mega pushy ads in my face, I'll go with the printed mediums.

hmm on my computer its new version all the time, it has the design a little like yahoo search and soft colors.

All the links at the bottom is gone, also directories are gone, only category "like" links to yahoos own specials, you can now see the main site is more build for profit, then service of listed sites.

I'm not bothered what it looks like - I just wish they'd add more pages to the index and update more often.

They don't have a default color set for their page background so it always looks horrible on my computer since mine is customized and not set to white.

My background is dark red so the sites that forget to set their page backgrounds jump out like a sore thumb at me.

Hmm I was also down to another computer, there was the old layout, whent back to my main computer there the new version was.

Strange on the coumputer where I can see the new version, is a Laptop P4 3,2GHz, XP widescreen, maybe that have something to say.

I think it is Cookies. Based on your IP address, they must have put the new design configuration or setting on your cookie.
