If you use yahoo messenger for years now, you have been able see/chat your contacts from the online yahoo email .. turn it on or off is easy. They have a new faster beta version now.. it loads in a blink... I've use it for a while now... it looks almost the same as the old and modern yahoo mail. Just slight differences... and faster.

I have it all prepared to paste into the proper place on the yahoo signature area but it won't allow me to paste anything. There is a box that says " type" and it appears that is all that it will let you do. The old yahoo mail did not have this problem. You could put what you wanted. I tried to have it go to where I had it saved on my computer but it wouldn't do that either. Hopefullly they update this, if that is not presently allowed. Thanks for your suggestion.

well I had to try it even though I never use my yahoo email, I had no problem at all, I added a new contact by hitting the gold save button, closed it opened it, fine. I then went back to contacts hit the gold edit button and changed the spelling, saved, fine. I even did the delete using the little trash can icon. every thing I tried worked fine. Does this only happen with one contact or with any that you try to alter? when you did your edit or save did it show a new little box in your window showing the spinning icon showing that it was doing something then show it corrected?

FYI.... A very short time ago, a friend of mine was a victim of this particular hack at Yahoo. I was listed in her contact list and all I can say is that this "nasty" is virulent. I don't use any Yahoo product and rarely, if ever visit their website. She is the only email friend I have that uses their email and even though we don't converse on a daily basis, just being one of her contacts made me a victim. I began to be barraged with unsavory mail...none of which I opened directly. But, no matter what protection I have on my system [and it's the best] I could not stop the onslaught. I suspect the reason being that I was not the addressee. The clever sender copied me rather than sending directly to my address. I tried every trick I knew to stop the mail...blocking IP #s, etc and nothing worked. My only recourse to stop the action was to delete my own email account entirely and begin a new. I'd had the account for sixteen years with nary a problem. Deleting it felt like loosing an old friend. Then I advised my friend to find another email program. Unfortunately, she didn't heed my advice and I expect she's been hit again. I insisted that she not put my new email address in her contact list so I may be safe this time around...but if not...the account I opened to continue conversing with her is what I consider a throw away account. I won't suffer if I have to close it quickly. Although...when I opened the new account to continue conversing with her...I made her promise not to list me as a contact anywhere on her system. I relate this experience for those of you...who like Jodi...are having difficulty resetting a password...and strongly suggest that you find new non-Yahoo email programs. As the unwitting recipient of my friends computer infection...I had to change all my accounts, etc and it's a task I wouldn't want to repeat. Anne
