I don't have an Ipad so have no clue. There are some nice forums on apple I am sure and people would know or maybe someone here with an Ipad has a suggestion. Even on the computer I back up my address book and my favorites as you just never know if something might happened and you would need to reload them. Mary

Thanks kudzu9 and linesman. I have tried the logging in and out before and it would work sometimes then go back to doing nothing. Linesman, I knew I could click on the word subject like you said, but I just thought it wasn't working properly. None of my family are having the same problem though. It's always me that has problems with yahoo,lol. So do you think I have a newer update? I don't know why I would. Do they have more recent updates that I accidentally found? And believe me, it would be an accident!!! And if y'all are tired of my rambling, I appreciate y'all's help. thanks, gabby

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

If we don't sign up for new Yahoo by the deadline, do we get blocked/erased? Being on landline, and taking forever to download (at home) I find that each update of most things includes more material and takes even longer to download, so I want to continue with the former system, but it looks as though they plan to discontinue it. It sure will take a lot of work to ship out all of the stuff that I want to keep. And I've neglected some of the other email addresses that I've had, so forget passwords, etc. I've never used Hotmail ... and some agencies that I want to contact want me to use Hotmail to access them. ole joyful
