Reading E-mail from Yahoo?

I have been with Yahoo for ever and have never had a problem with any single part of it and now clear out of the blue when I go and check my mail I have to use the scroll at the bottom because the mail that I get no longer word wraps. What is going on? Why is this happening and how can it be fixed? Please please if there is anyone who has had this problem and got advice that actually worked please give me an answer as soon as you can. Please e-mail me at carly071@yahoo.com

    Aww, is there anyway to go back to the old version? I kind of miss that one so much. I think there is also a reason why they changed it is because they replaced IE8 with internet explorer 11 so there is no way they would keep it unless you possibly could revert back to 8. But i like this version better so i will keep it you should not go back to the old version because there are technical known bugs. I will try to help explain this out:

    You can't keep the same old browsing experience forever. Once you're at something for a long time, you get tired of it and you have to change, even yourself. Worst yet is they've redesigned the way yahoo works so it constantly automatically picks it's own javascript and cookie level unless you go back and change it yourself, all cookies are deleted when you log off or shut your computer down. Feeds and RSS levels don't work correctly anymore either. The whole thing has been redesigned straight-up so you can't get a classic. Besides, you would like the new version better then ever once you get used to it. The reason why it does this is so any user can't hop onto your account and steal you're personal information (unless youre a stickypasswords user) of course which is dumb. Like the new version just accept it.

    Sounds fair huh?

    in all danger, there replaced right into a "lower back door" put in with the virus, and somebody tracked your passwords as you typed them in. Now, they have replaced that password. you could attempt clicking "i'm able to't get admission to my account" and persist with the guidelines to regain get admission to.

    NEW YAHOO! MAIL IS STILL UNSTABLE....IT WOULD BE BEST TO GO BACK TO YOUR PREVIOUS VERSION OF YAHOO! MAIL...

    To go back to YAHOO! MAIL CLASSIC...

    Turn off Javascript - you'll then be asked if you want to return to Mail Classic, click "yes".

    If you don't know how to turn off Javascript...

    For SAFARI: Open SETTINGS>click PREFERENCES>>click SECURITY>>Uncheck ENABLE JAVA and ENABLE JAVASCRIPT

    IMPORTANT:Remember to RE-ENABLE JAVA and JAVASCRIPTING back ON when you are back in Mail Classic because without it some mail functions won't work.

    For IE: Open TOOLS > INTERNET OPTIONS >> SECURITY. In security click "CUSTOM LEVEL" -> disable active scripting in the scripting section.

    IMPORTANT:Remember to turn JAVASCRIPTING back ON when you are back in Mail Classic because without it some mail functions won't work.

    For FIREFOX: Open TOOLS -> OPTIONS -> CONTENT, click on "DISABLE JAVASCRIPT". Now hit F5 to refresh the page while you are in Yahoo! email in order to switch back... In the options, click (PERMANENT) to switch back to YAHOO! Classic. DO NOT click the "ONE TIME ONLY" option.

    IMPORTANT: Turn JAVASCRIPT back ON once you have your "CLASSIC" account back.

    PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE IF THIS SOLUTION WORKS BY CLICKING BEST ANSWER..THANKS
