Why is my Yahoo mail suddenly displaying the preview pane in vertical format?

When I opened up my yahoo mail today (17 May 2013) it did not display in its usual format of received emails on top and the preview pane underneath.

It had the received emails in a column on the left next to the 'files' column then the preview pane on the right in a column. It means I am unable to see the email properly because of the advertising on the right.

Anyone else got this problem and how do I restore to original layout?

    Yes, I have the same issue. Windows downloaded updates overnight then self-rebooted, now my preview pane is to the side rather than on the bottom.

    I wasn't even using preview pane, and now it is not only vertical but turned on and I can't turn it off. It just keeps coming back on no matter what I do. This is most definitely a glitch and I can't believe they haven't figured out how to fix it yet.

    I have this problem also. Anybody have a solution yet? It's very annoying! It also doesn't save the setting related to the preview pane and it doesn't seem like there is a bottom to the page...

    Yes, it is most annoying! Searched all over for a fix and could not find anything. I hope it is just a glitch and will be corrected soon.

    Cracked it!

    Installed the latest updates to Firefox and flash player, bingo, back to normal!

    I'm having the same problem as well. Super annoying. I hope they fix it soon.

    Same here. I can't figure out how to switch it back either. WHY WHY WHY can't Yahoo!, Facebook, etc. leave well enough alone?!!
