  • Does anyone like the new Yahoo format?

    Apparently the old format has gone by the Dodo bird...

    You no longer can sort incomming e-mails by "Sender" ....

    You no longer can review "Sent " messages using in full text format...

    Avatars no longer appear...

    "Sponsor" e-mails can not be avoided / easily deleted...

    "Yahoo Feedback" gives you NO feedback [ not even 'Yes we got your feedback] !!!

    "Draft" messages are supposedly still saveable but lord knows how....

    "Help" files do not correspond to the current version....

    The "New Yahoo" has limited mass mailings [ OK to 50 maybe ], AND exporting e-ddresses has become quite complicated...

    Now my question... How do I inform my client base via a mass mailing that my XXXXXXX@yahoo.com e-ddress has changed to another provider ?

  • Is there a way to automatically send back a message?

    to SPAMers? I get over 99+ SPAM messages daily. I know it's part of being on the I-net ... the messages go to my spam folder but I have to delete them too often for it to be any more "fun".

    Is there a way just to reply to a Yahoo SPAMed e-mail ... " Unfortunately your message sent to xxxxxxx@yahoo.com has been deemed as SPAM. Please retry at the alternate e-mail previously provided "

    OR something like that?

    "The Mailer Deamon" responds when I mistype an e-ddress can I do the same with my e-ddress?

    Network Navigator YEARS ago had a similar feature but I can't find it in Yahoo.

    WORST of all I'm tired of getting misdirected mail .... If my e-ddress is " XABCDEFG@ yahoo.com" why do I keep getting mail from " XABCHIJK@yahoo.com" ?

  • Vista service Pack 1?

    This is driving me bonkers. 100X I've installed the service pack. 100X it says it has installed successfully. Windows Vista keeps telling me there is an upgrade available. Guess what it's "Windows Vista Service Pack 1 " AGAIN !

    My software is100% genuine, my confuser is rated for Vista, I have plenty if HD Space [248 GB free], oodles of RAM [ for a laptop 4GB should be plenty ]

    I've tried to talk to MS to no avail.

    W/O the "update" <<<registered and accepted ...I can not proceed to update other components. This 'stupid' little laptop has irreplaceable programs and data. While I have the technology to back up the info [ and already have ] the OS needs to be ASIS.

    I've tried open source code, LINUX ..... again to no avail.

    I'm OKish with leaving the OS ASIS but would really like the messages to go away. My cohorts constantly keep trying to update the system which makes me bring everything back to " ground Zero". This takes me the better part of three hours. I can not boot them off the system, I can not limit their access .... Well OK I could, but after 18 hour days it's just too much.

    Anyone PLEASE Help !!!!

  • Windows Vista 32bit error?

    I install Windows Vista Business SP1

    Vista says the SP1 install is "successfull"

    A few hours later the update icon shows up again and asks me to install SP1 AGAIN.

    So I do it again and again and again ....

  • PC Camera(s) Drivers?

    I have both Creative Labs VF0220 and a Logitech V-UA1 P35U3 cameras. I'd like to find the drivers for either XP Home or Vista Business for ZERO $.

    I've gone to the Creative Labs site and downloaded the drivers [ same for the Logitech ] in both OSs the cameras while recognized will not perform. All the bells and whistles show up for the Logitech [it works barely] but the Creative is a "NO GO" from square one.

    I've been burnt too many times by URLs saying give us X $$$ and we'll fix your problems. I don't want Driver Detection or any other such "Let us scan your computer" BS.

    I need a free site where I can download both XP Pro and Vista Business drivers for the aforementioned. Yes, I know the hardware is old but something must be available.

    PLEASE HELP !

  • Olympics- Pros vs. Joes?

    I've been around for several Olympics [ Winter and Summer ] < 9 all inclusive if i'm not mistaken>

    I was just wondering when PROFESSIONAL athletes where allowed to "fortify" National teams ?

    Back in '72 there was such a stink because one player had been paid for playing in the sport he was competing in . Hence he was a professional.

    I'm confused ... If you have a real answer please respond !

    S.Williams or V.Williams in Tennis FOR the OLYMPIC Gold. REALLY !?!

    You might as well put John Seena <sp?> against Borak for the wrestling medals !

    Finally my question reiterated .... When were Pro's allowed into the Olympics ?

    I thought it was an amateur competition !

    I asked " Did you just f*** my ex or did you make love to her "

  • Why does the Yahoo!Answers appeal URL not work?

    I know I used "Fire Truck " and "See you next Tuesday" in a response but I never really spelled them out.

    I could care less about the points deducted but I'm concerned I've violated the community guidelines.

    I'm extremely cautious in what I write and/or say ... but the thread I was responding to was REALLY offensive in my book. Some answers, I respond to, take me more than 2 hours to compose !

    Heck I have a "Swear Jar" at home that I rarely need to put money into ... my friends contribute, sometimes often, but not me! I'm just curious why I got sensored !
