Yahoo Emails

[Tilly2]

My Yahoopage seems to have undergone a change overnight and now says BT Yahoomail.

The look of the page has changed and I have an advertisement email at the top of my list of incoming emails which I cannot delete. At the end of the advert it has a 's' in a broken cirlce, rather than the time.

How do I get back to my UK and Ireland Email page and/or how do I get rid of these sponsored emails?

Thank you.

Windows 7 Chrome browser.

Someone must be able to help me with this email problem.

You can't Tilly. That's how Yahoo looks now

[Tilly2]

So, will there always be an advert right at the top of the inbox? One with a picture, one I can't remove. FrogNog?

Try Yahoo.com Tilly - no problems with adverts there.

[Tilly2]

I have just tried Yahoo.com, sir.prize. It is the same on there. The yahoo page is the same as the old one but when I click on mail, it jumps to the 'new' page. Stupid advert still there! Thanks for trying to help.

Hi Tilly. I have just found that I also get an advert at the front of the first email in the inbox and a letter 's' instead of the time at the line end of the email.

But this only happens when I disable the AdBlock. (But I didn't say that, honest Ed).

[Tilly2]

I have not knowingly disabled Adblocker, sir prize but it doesn't have any numbers against the logo at the moment. May it have turned itself off? How do I turn it back on.

I do get adverts on AB, down the righthand side. At the moment it is the new Queen Elizabeth £5 coin.

It may depend on which browser you are using. I use Firefox and the blocker icon is red in the top right hand corner with a tiny downward pointing arrow alongside. Click on the arrow . . .

My adblock gets rid of the one at the top of the Yahoo inbox on my desktop but I get it on my mobile.
I'm not keen either Tilly

[Tilly2]

I have the red icon, sir.prize but not the little arrow. when I click on it and press options, I just get a page with boxes on it and no writing. I am going to remove it and re-install it, I think.

[Tilly2]

FrogNog, I know it's not a big deal but I find it intrusive, as you probably do. I don't want adverts in my Inbox.

[sir.prize]

To combat the Yahoo Advert problem you definitely need AdBlocker active. Maybe reinstall might do the trick.

[Tilly2]

I now have Adblocker super. it seems to have done the trick! Horray!
Thanks for your help you two.

Best use an e-mail client on your PC and not have to visit the website.

Been ads there for some time now. Yes it does look like an e-mail you've received. Clearly a deliberate annoyance from some evil marketing type.

[Tilly2]

I don't understand what an email client is, OG.

The adverts were from different places, not always the same company. They have gone now. Ad Blocker Super seems to have dealt with them. I don't understand what happened to the original Ad Blocker though.

[Old_Geezer]

It's a programme you run continuously on your computer that periodically checks your e-mail account for you, and if it finds you have received new e-mail it downloads it to your computer and then deletes it from the website. It can also allow you to send e-mails from your computer too so you never need to go to the website and see the ads.

[Tilly2]

Thank you for the explanation, OG. I understand now. Can you supply me with a link to download the 'client', please?

I use Microsoft Outlook 2003 but I'm sure that there must be newer, better ones out there.
