My email is all fubared! Weird stuff - HELP!?

I use sbcglobal.net and yahoo is my default email. Didn't login yesterday but today it's all weird. First the email was all on the right in BIG letters. After trying to find a way to fix it I now only get a page that says

Log in and Search Menus (in Large print)

<<big empty box>>

Message Content (in large print)

<<big empty box>>

further down.... "advertisement" -- just the word

--------------------

I've been trying to 'check status' but that's been frozen for about 15 minutes.

Any HELP ideas?? thx

Update:

[Edit]: I've cleared my cookies and my temp folders (which I HATE doing)... I'm STILL getting the same page and can't access my email.

    It sounds like yahoo is in the middle of upgrading your classic mail and it got all mixed up. From the inbox over to the right click Options, then Mail Options. Scroll to and click General Preferences. On the next page go to Composing Emails and click Compose messages as color and graphics. Click Save at the top or bottom left. Return to the mail screen, inbox and see if it fixed it. This fixed mine. If it is not fixed you will have to wait for Yahoo they have been doing maintenance on their sites lately. In the meantime, you can use one of these links to access your mail, send or receive, it's basic, no frills, but it works. http://us.m.yahoo.com/p/mail or: http://uk.m.yahoo.com/p/mail or: http://de.m.yahoo.com/p/mail
